Mariadb 5.5.60 Download [UPDATED]

MariaDB Shell is a unified command line interface that provides all the critical tools you need to troubleshoot and administer your MariaDB products. It is flag compatible, has a friendly interface and serves as a 100% replacement for mariadb-admin. Many of the commands should be familiar to mariadb-admin users. New features include the ability to warm in-memory storage engine caches, collect environment and performance data and create a report to track database trends.
Otherwise errors will go to the syslog and you will wonder where they are. This file should been used only when there is "mysqld_safe" option used when starting mysqld, but in fact they are also used when you start normally. In mariadb 10.1.* these 2 lines are removed.
LO , as mentioned, was installed. Moved over JRE 8u102 from Mint 18 and pointed to it in LO. Downloaded mariadb-java-client-1.5.7.jar - it would not work no matter what was done. Tried to get v1.5.3 but they wanted a sign in. Signed up but even when asking to v1.5.3 only 1.5.7 was offered.
MariaDB connector was my fault. I was trying to use com.mariadb.jdbc.Driver. org works fine. Also confirmed my suspicions - mariadb-java-client-1.5.7.jar can be located wherever wanted. I keep it in my home directory. Also confirmed MariaDB works with SQL Workbench/J (I use this more than any other). Good news as there is a lack of good tools (my opinion) for it in Linux.
mariadb should just accept the sql backup of the old moodle install. The additional changes you would have to make that aren't covered in the instructions are to config.php to use the new mariadb details instead of the old mysql ones.
I've only connect to MariaDB once or twice from Dataiku 2-3 years ago.
I notice that MariaDB is not explicitly listed on the Supported List of Database. However, I believe that MariaDB is similar to MYSQL. But there may be some important differences as well. -topics/mariadb-vs-mysql/
