[mythtv-users] MariaDB and QtSql (Gentoo)

[Tom Dexter]

In answer to my own question: I finished the conversion to MariaDB on
this server which has QtSql installed with mysql support. I was able
to compile the sqlbrowser example from the QT site and it seems to
work perfectly with my mariadb databases.
