[FR] mariadb support

[ITwrx]

I'm learning nim and i'm used to using mariadb for my laravel apps, so mariadb support would be nice from my perspective. Is this something that might be added in the future, or something norm devs are decided/set against?
thanks

Hello!

It would be great to add MariaDB support, and I'd be happy to see this feature in Norm. It's just that I don't have time to implement it. There are more pressing issues like adding proper docs, releasing migrations, and creating a migration manager.

If you want to contribute by implementing MariaDB support, feel free to do so! It shouldn't be too hard since you have PostgreSQL and SQLite examples.

thanks for the reply. i'll keep it in mind if i need a nim learning exercise.

A completely forgot the most important blocker! Without MariaDB support in ndb, Norm can't have proper support for it as well.
