Connecting to MariaDB 10.6 or 10.11
bruce.button:
Which connector should I use to connect a Lazarus project to a MariaDB database (using MariaDB version 10.6 or 10.11)?
The closest I can see is MySQL 80. Is there still enough compatibility between MariaDB and MySQL in the latest versions for the MySQL connector to work properly with MariaDB? And where would I obtain the correct client library?
Handoko:
I don't know how to use Lazarus to connect MariaDB but I found this information, which maybe useful to you:

Thaddy:
At the moment you should use 57. since it looks like 80 needs a small patch in the defines, but should also work, since 57andup is defined for 80, which should work with MariaDb too.
I use 57 on Linux64.
About the client: you don't need one. The connector IS the client.
Zvoni:
Wasn't there a recommendation to use "SkipLibraryCheck" for MariaDB?
Thaddy:
57 works with MariaDb 10.x and is aliased in mysqlconn.inc
I can't remember I needed SkipLibraryCheck. Will look it up. It is on a running server.
[edit] I did and I also seem to have aliased the client lib.
