[Koha-devel] Koha and MariaDB - lets switch and start testing

[Travis Elliott Davis]

Not to jump on the Oracle bashing bandwagon but the Chris'  and Mason have a point.  I would have to agree with Chris Cormack in that furthering the DBIx::Class work would not only help this issue but also help mitigate issues that we may run into with db dependence in the future.  That all being said I am probably biased because of my work on bug 8798 (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8798).
