MariaDB¶

MariaDB is treated as its own dialect while sharing much of the MySQL-family runtime behavior.

URL¶

Ormdantic("mariadb://root:password@localhost:3306/app")
Ormdantic("mariadb+mariadbconnector://root:password@localhost:3306/app")

Differences From MySQL¶

MariaDB and MySQL overlap heavily, but they differ in server features, sequence behavior, reflection catalogs, and some DDL support.

Ormdantic keeps a separate dialect name so migrations can make backend-aware choices.

Supported Metadata¶

MariaDB support includes:

• table engine, charset, collation, and row format metadata;
• indexes, unique constraints, checks, and foreign keys;
• index comments and prefix lengths;
• regular views;
• sequence reflection where supported;
• migration history and repair commands.

Type Notes¶

Like MySQL, MariaDB cannot freely use unbounded TEXT columns in key positions. Ormdantic renders keyable strings as bounded VARCHAR where required.
