Hello,

Is there any way to install a plugin via SQL but to trap the error that comes up if the plugin is already installed?

I’d like to do it without creating a “throwaway” procedure, if that’s possible.

Yes. There's more than one way to do it: * INSTALL PLUGIN IF NOT EXISTS is available since 10.4.0 * INSTALL SONAME doesn't error out if the plugin is installed * compound statements offer a generic way to avoid a throwaway procedure: BEGIN NOT ATOMIC DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR 1968 DO 1 INSTALL PLUGIN ... END or IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS WHERE PLUGIN_NAME='...') THEN INSTALL PLUGIN ...; END IF Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security@mariadb.org
