26868	Change MySQL version detection to accomodate MariaDB	Marc-Aurèle Brothier	nobody	"I found an edge case when you connect to mariadb server using the mysql client library, for example running a MySQL server on a local computer, which will install the client library but using a MariaDB in a docker container.

The server string returned by the server is {{{5.5.5-10.0.25-MariaDB-1~jessie}}} and therefore the features list is incorrect, especially for the microsecond precision on the DATETIME. If you're using the mariadb client library you will get {{{10.0.25-MariaDB-1~jessie}}} and the features list is correct.

https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4575

My [https://github.com/django/django/pull/6893 PR] changes how the version is detected, and use a SQL query instead of the client library call. Then we get the correct MariaDB version and the features list is correct."	Bug	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.9	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
