Converting from MySQL to MariadB

Hi All...

I'm in the process of moving from MySQL to MariadB for our web app. Within the web app we use various Crystal Reports that run on the server and present the report to the user. The report currently uses a MySQL ODBC connector. IF I modify the ODBC connector to point to the new server will the MySQL ODBC connector still work? Does anyone know if the MySQL ODBC connector is compatible with MariadB? Otherwise I'd have to modify every report in the system to use the new connector which will be very time consuming.

Thank you for any input you provide.

Joe

There seem to be problems with the MariaDB ODBC driver, and a number of people seem to have experienced crashes. ODBC-17

The MySQL driver should work fine though.
