How is that "in spite"? MariaDB clearly announces that it is MariaDB (try SELECT VERSION() for a start). Hence it would be trivial for Oracle to check if the connected server is MySQL or MariaDB. And to emit a warning message if they detect the competition.

And why is this a problem? What does the warning(!) message say? Is there something that doesn't work? Something that should work (not being in the 0.1% of known and documented incompatibilities)? Or are they just spreading FUD? I wouldn't expect anything else from Oracle, but why are you helping them with that? Received on Fri Apr 13 2018 - 23:02:47 CEST
