About

MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL, with some minor differences which come up in coding and administrative contexts.

Notes

The function for making new users in MySQL Workbench 8.0.20 is broken with MariaDB 10.5.7. Fortunately, it is easy to get around this by entering the necessary SQL directly:

CREATE USER '<USERNAME>'@<HOST> IDENTIFIED BY '<PASSWORD>';

How To

• 2020-05-05 How To Reset Your MySQL or MariaDB Root Password: Basically -- you stop the server, reload it without credential-checking, reset the permissions-buffer with FLUSH PRIVILEGES;, and then use ALTER USER ... to re-add the root user.
  • Note that although you may be able to get into the un-credentialed MariaDB without a username (or with a different username), it looks like only "root" will allow you to make the needed changes.
