[mythtv-users] Mythtv database requirements??

[Jim Abernathy]

So I know mythtv uses MySQL which has supposedly transitioned to mariadb 
over time, but it's basically the same mysql commands. I think???

So to compare what I have on 2 systems I found some puzzling results, at 
least to me.

_System 1_ is Xubuntu 18.04.4 installed recently and mythtv v31 
installed today.

It has mysql-client-5.7, mysql-client-core-5.7, mysql-server-5.7, 
mysql-server-core-5.7 installed.

if has no packages by the name mariadb, or maria installed.

_System 2_ is an Ubuntu 18.04 Server which started on mythtv 29, moved 
to 30, and not 31.

It does NOT have mysql-client-5.7, mysql-client-core-5.7, 
mysql-server-5.7, mysql-server-core-5.7 installed.

It has mysql-common installed.

It has mariadb-client-10.0, mariadb-client-core-10.0, 
mariadb-server-10.0, mariadb-server-core-10.0, and mariadb-common installed.

Not sure why I see the difference and wonder if this is the reason some 
of the database scripts that run during mythtv updates fail for syntax 
reasons??
