Description

Since the MariaDB driver is used for MySQL connections by default now, we should include the driver configuration in default.sakai.properties.

I've added this line to the MySQL database configuration section:

Should we remove the MySQL driver line? Or just leave it in there commented out?

Seeing "Won't Fix" merge flag for minor issues. These won't be merged back to 11.

I'm open. It is only a property after all, so happy to verify this Jira if it makes sense.

Nightly is using the MySQL driver. I use Maria driver locally but I'm also using MariaDB locally too.

I'd still think for the most compatible configuration, use the database driver for your appropriate database, but for dev/testing this should be fine.

You can even build with the mysql profile to get the mysql driver, we just can't bundle it with the source. () This is all more of a documentation thing. AFIAK there's no place to download the Oracle driver directly but it also has a profile ()

had concerns on the PR with using MariaDB, but, as responded, all I'm doing here is adding the line to document the setting that works out-of-the-box.
