Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Description : ODBC driver for MariaDB
This package provides a driver that allows ODBC-enabled applications to
access MariaDB databases, possibly MySQL databases as well. ODBC is an
abstraction layer that allows applications written for that layer to access
databases in a manner that is relatively independent of the particular database
management system.
I have been running a locally whipped up package of this for years. AFAICT
there is no releasable MySQL/MariaDB ODBC connector in testing anymore since
before stretch, when src:myodbc was dropped due to RC bugs. This needed
updating anyway so I'm going to clean it up and propose for inclusion.
I need this for our Asterisk-based PBX because nowadays the native database
functions are going away and are being replaced with ODBC.
I will gladly hand over the package to the MySQL/MariaDB maintainer group if
they want to (CCed)
Bernhard
