Description

I think it would nice if Fineract support MariaDB (see https://mariadb.org) instead of, or in addition to and not only MySQL.

MariaDB is a community fork of MySQL (now maintained mostly by Oracle) by most of the people who originally built MySQL before it was acquired by Oracle.

Hopefully our use of the (very old...) Drizzle JDBC driver doesn't cause any issues for this. Otherwise we could use FINERACT-762, or (better) https://downloads.mariadb.org/connector-java/+releases/.
