The best I can tell, MariaDB is *the* mysql. "the other thing" is an abandonware fork.

I personally at this moment do not run any daq stations with mysql logging, and I accidentally
removed all the 25 versions and flavours of mysql from my home laptop, so if there
is any problems with mysql, please holler, and I will reinstall mysql (ahem, mariadb) and restore
my ability to test midas against it.

As a connected question, is there any need to have postgres support in midas as well?

K.O.
