MariaDB

The MySQL-compatible community-driven fork.

Connection fields

Field	Required	Description
`host`	Yes	Hostname or IP address of the MariaDB server.
`port`	No	Defaults to 3306.
`user`	Yes	Username to authenticate with.
`password`	No	Not enforced by the connector, but almost every real server requires one — leave it blank only against a server configured to allow passwordless auth.
`db`	Yes	Database name to connect to.

MariaDB runs on the same connector code as MySQL (they share the MySQL wire protocol) — the only difference is the type name arcodash stores against the connection.

Example configuration

{
  "host": "db.internal.example.com",
  "port": 3306,
  "user": "arcodash_reader",
  "password": "••••••••",
  "db": "analytics"
}

Caveats

The best-effort statement-timeout backstop this connector tries to set uses MariaDB's max_statement_time system variable rather than MySQL's max_execution_time; if setting it fails for any reason it's silently ignored rather than blocking the connection.
