Hallo again, sad news from "mysql-connector-linux_4-3_x86_64.oxt", I just run into the problem, that it is unable to WRITE more than 96 chars into a TEXT field, either directly using base's table view or via a text control on a form. Trying so, you'll get a "HY000 2006" error from mysql (mariadb). To be sure, I verified the table definition is okay (CREATE TABLE ...`Pathname` text, ... ).
What leaps to the users eye: 96 = 3 * 32 characters. This means, that currently there is NO way to work unhamperedly with Base and mariadb: * MySQL(natively): garbage or length limitation in TEXT fields * MySQL(ODBC): base crashes instantaneously as soon as a table (or form) is opened * ODBC: base crashes instantaneously as soon as a table (or form) is opened
