MariaDB
TablePro supports MariaDB 10.x and later. MariaDB connections use the bundled MySQL driver, built on MariaDB Connector/C 3.4.8. Pick MySQL or MariaDB in the connection form; both route to the same driver. Connection fields, AWS IAM, SSL/TLS, and every feature match MySQL, so MySQL covers them.Connection URL
Both schemes open a connection;mariadb:// creates a MariaDB connection, mysql:// a MySQL one:
Differences from MySQL
- The default authentication plugin is
mysql_native_password; MySQL 8 defaults tocaching_sha2_password. Both work. - MariaDB stores JSON columns as LONGTEXT. TablePro reads MariaDB’s extended field attributes (
MARIADB_FIELD_ATTR_FORMAT_NAME) to recognize those columns as JSON, so values open in the JSON editor instead of plain text.
