Advanced Database Persistence for Java Examples & Reference Manual |
Please refer to the section Support for MySQL database.
The HotRod MariaDB adapter automatically maps known database column types to DAO Java types using the exact same logic as the HotRod's MySQL adapter.
MariaDB is fully binary compatible with MySQL server. HotRod, as well as any other database client applications, does not notice any difference when running against MariaDB compared to MySQL, except for the database identification strings that reveal it's MariaDB. Apart from that, the database behaves exactly the same way.
