For licensing purposes, we try to remove any link to MySQL connectors, we found for Delphi and .NET, but we did not yet find any for java. Does anyone know a third party components that can be used as java connector for MariaDB ?
Answer
If you really want to change connector, the [[http://wiki.drizzle.org/JDBC|drizzle JDBC]] connector or the JDBC connector that [[http://www.skysql.com/|SkySQL]] supplies (based on the drizzle connector) are the only options that I know of.
However it would be nice to know why you can't use the original MySQL JDBC connector from Oracle; For most cases there is no license requirement for using the JDBC connector as the GPL for the connector will not affect your application because you have the JDBC manager in between. See the [[licensing-faq|Licensing FAQ]] for details.
