Hello everyone,

1) I found out, that passwords longer than 79 characters aren't accepted via password prompt. Is that expected?

Code seem to say yes:

https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.3/client/mysql.cc#L1959

https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/10.3/mysys/get_password.c#L63

More info and reproducer in RH bugzilla:

2) Another password length cap at 213 characters can be found when using sha256_password authentification plugin. Is that expected too?

This is MySQL not MariaDB right?

Different theme: why aren't tests for mariadb-connector-odbc, that can be found on GitHub, packged to the source tarball ?

Not sure, could request it on JIRA.
