MariaDB

MariaDB is an open source relational database. You can use the MariaDB connection to connect to either a MariaDB server or to a Microsoft Azure Database for MariaDB service in the cloud.

Supported versions

  • MariaDB server: 10.5.5

  • Amazon RDS for MariaDB

Create a connection to MariaDB

To create the connection, you need these connection details:

  • Database (optional): If you do not enter a database name, you must enter the catalog name, schema name, and the table name in the properties for SQL queries.
  • Hostname or IP address
  • Port number
  • Username and password
  • SSL certificate, if required by the database server

For Private connectivity, to connect to a database that is not externalized to the internet (for example, behind a firewall), you must set up a secure connection.

MariaDB setup

Setup depends on whether you are connecting from a local MariaDB server or a Microsoft Azure Database for MariaDB database service in the cloud.
