About

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

This page is a seed article. You can help HTYP water it: make a request to expand a given page and/or donate to help give us more writing-hours!

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>';
