Package %{?scl_name} provides MariaDB database server delivered as a Software Collection (SCL). For more information about Software Collections, see the scl(1) man page. By installing the %{?scl_name} collection, you will get the minimum working set of packages to have a working MariaDB database server. Software Collection MariaDB %{version_major}.%{version_minor} includes also MariaDB Galera Cluster, which is a synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB. %if 0%{?rhel} >= 7 || 0%{?fedora} >= 15 Usage: systemctl start %{?scl_prefix}mariadb %else Usage: service %{?scl_prefix}mariadb start %endif Software Collections allow you to build and execute applications which are not located in the filesystem root hierarchy, but are stored in an alternative location, which is %{_scl_root} in case of the %{?scl_name} collection. MariaDB is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. It is a client/server implementation consisting of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs and libraries. This package contains the MariaDB server and some accompanying files and directories. MariaDB is a community developed branch of MySQL. When you want to work with the %{?scl_name} collection, use the scl utility (see the scl(1) man page for usage) to enable the scl environment. The only exception is starting and stopping %{?scl_prefix}mariadb daemon, where SCL environment is enabled implicitely within the SysV init script or systemd unit file. Configuration for the %{?scl_name} software collection is located under %{_sysconfdir}. MariaDB server listens on network soket (by default port 3306) and unix socket (by default /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock). Examples: scl enable %{?scl_name} 'command --arg' Run a specific command with the argument --arg within the %{?scl_name} software collections environment. scl enable %{?scl_name} 'mysql -u root -p' Run mysql shell from the %{?scl_name} software collection. scl enable %{?scl_name} bash Run an interactive shell with the %{?scl_name} software collection enabled. %if 0%{?rhel} >= 7 || 0%{?fedora} >= 15 systemctl start %{?scl_prefix}mariadb %else service %{?scl_prefix}mariadb start %endif Starts the MariaDB server from %{?scl_name} software collection. scl enable %{?scl_name} 'man mysql' Show man pages for the mysql command, which is a part of the %{?scl_name} software collection. yum install %{?scl_prefix}galera Install MariaDB Galera Cluster plugin, which is available in a separate package. For running the test suite, which is available in %{?scl_prefix}mariadb-test package, see the %{_datadir}/mysql-test/README. Please, be aware that you need to run all the commands mentioned in the README file in a proper SCL environment. Thus the recommended way to run the test suite is to run the bash with %{?scl_name} collection enabled: scl enable %{?scl_name} bash Run bash with the %{?scl_name} collection enabled. Files: %{_scl_scripts}/service-environment Define which software collections should be enabled for the daemon process. Report bugs to <http://bugzilla.redhat.com>.
