We got: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver: the legacy class used for Mysql com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver: for recent Mysql org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver: for MariaDB Only first one is used in LO: <a href="https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=%22com.mysql.jdbc.Driver%22&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&xrd=&si=full&si=full">https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=%22com.mysql.jdbc.Driver%22&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&xrd=&si=full&si=full</a> So : 1) We got "mysql_jdbc" and "jdbc" drivers (see <a href="https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/connectivity/source/drivers/">https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/connectivity/source/drivers/</a>), why not just keeping jdbc and dump mysql_jdbc to simplify? Idem for ODBC part. Selecting Mysql (or MariaDB if 1) is done), should just bring direct connection If disagree, why don't we do the same for Postgresql for example? (When a bug talks about Mysql with JDBC, how to know if Mysql_jdbc has been used or just JDBC?) 2) We use Mariadb package 2.0.0 (see <a href="https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/download.lst?r=d400009e">https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/download.lst?r=d400009e</a>), what about renaming Mysql to MariaDB to prepare the fact the 2 DBs will have more and more difference with the time? Of course, we may also propose both.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
