DBD::MariaDB does not exist on cpan
7stud opened this issue · comments
The links on the README page to DBD::MariaDB are broken, and cpan is not aware of any module named DBD::MariaDB.
Yes, module is not on cpan yet. We would upload it to cpan after we declare it is stable, production ready and has final stable (documented) API.
Okay, I thought something was wrong because the links on the README page go to meta-cpan, etc., and do not lead to DBD::MariaDB. On the other hand, I can report that DBD::MariaDB worked for me when DBD::mysql caused an error. I discovered that capitalization is important when using DBD::MariaDB:
use DBI;
my $db = 'mydb';
my $user = 'root';
my $pword = '';
my $host = 'localhost';
my $dsn = "dbi:MariaDB:database=$db;host=$host";
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $pword);
After unzipping DBD-MariaDB-master.zip, I did a standard install from source:
$ cd DBD-MariaDB-master
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
My info:
- OSX 10.13.2
- Perl 5.20.2
- I installed MariaDB with homebrew because I got errors trying to install from source. MariaDB is located here: /usr/local/Cellar/mariadb/10.2.12/
- I use perlbrew, and to install modules I do:
$ cpan DBD::mysql.
Here is the error I got when I tried to install DBD::mysql:

Here is some info about my MariaDB install:

Drop-in replacement for MySQL

Conflicts with:
mariadb-connector-c (because both install plugins)
mysql (because mariadb, mysql, and percona install the same binaries

mysql-cluster (because mariadb, mysql, and percona install the same

mysql-connector-c (because both install MySQL client libraries)

A "/etc/my.cnf" from another install may interfere with a Homebrew-bui

MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by defaul

To connect:
mysql -uroot
To have launchd start mariadb now and restart at login:
brew services start mariadb
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
mysql.server start

Okay, I thought something was wrong because the links on the README page go to meta-cpan, etc., and do not lead to DBD::MariaDB.
If you look into source of README.pod file you can see that there is no metacpan link. It is just standard POD format and github POD formatter generate links to metacpan -- not into own git repository.
But this is not a problem as module would be on cpan.
On the other hand, I can report that DBD::MariaDB worked for me when DBD::mysql caused an error.
That is expected :-) DBD::MariaDB was created just to fix errors as for DBD::mysql it is hard/impossible.
Waiting for it ! Please 🙇
