Hi,
I am installing MariaDB in Fedora 34 server with the following sequence of commands:
sudo dnf upgrade -y sudo dnf install -y mariadb-server mariadb-devel sudo dnf -y install git vim
With this sequence of commands, I get the following installed:
$ mysql --version mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.5.13-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
and I can successfully perform the initial setup of the root password:
sudo mysqladmin -u root password password
and continue with the rest of my installation.
However, if I change the sequence of commands to:
sudo dnf upgrade -y sudo dnf -y install git vim sudo dnf install -y mariadb-server mariadb-devel
Odd -> $ repoquery --deplist git vim doesn't list anything pulling in MySQL.
What I get installed instead is:
$ mysql --version mysql Ver 8.0.27 for Linux on x86_64 (Source distribution)
This looks like an Oracle mysql-client version. Do you have community-mysql installed?
and the 'sudo mysqladmin -u root password password' command fails with:
mysqladmin: unable to change password; error: 'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '() IDENTIFIED BY 'secretdatabase'' at line 1'
Could anyone shed some light on this?
given mysql --version, the client version is showing 8.0.27, mysqladmin is also probably the Oracle version and is speaking a slightly different syntax to MariaDB.
