Upgrade MariaDB JDBC Driver from version 2.7.2 to 3.5.0

Current Situation

• JDBC Driver version 2.7.2 ships with JOC Cockpit.

Desired Behavior

• JDBC Driver version 3.5.0 should ship with JOC Cockpit.

Additional Information

• The Maria JDBC Driver version 2.x supports use of a jdbc:mysql connection URL on-the-fly.
• Since Maria JDBC Driver Version 3.0 use of a jdbc:mysql connection URL is supported only if the URL contains the additional query parameter:

  permitMysqlScheme

  • for example. jdbc:mysql://HOST/DATABASE?permitMysqlScheme
• The above query parameter is automatically added by JOC Cockpit. This means, users are not forced to modify connection URLs in existing Hibernate configuration files. However, users are recommended to apply the query parameter to make this more clear.
