Connecting Cognos 10.2.2 to Maria DB

[adoremars]

Hi All,

Does Cognos supports Maria DB? If yes, can you please provide the steps to create data source connection?

Thanks much.

Not seeing it listed on the Supported Environments page, so it looks like you're out of luck here:

Yes as of  11.R5  when using Dynamic Query engine where your connection would use the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver.

MariaDB is basically MySQL but then pureblood and Oracle free.

Any outcome for this post..is cognos 10.2.2 is compatible with MariaDB? atleast can we use MariaDB 5.1 version as datasource for cognos 10.2.2 as they says its same replica as MYSQL5.1

Prior to 11.R5, there is no claim that Cognos Analytics has been tested via JDBC to MariaDB.

As of 11.R5, it is listed as tested using the MySQL JDBC driver.

So pre-11.R5 using JDBC it would be caveat emptor.
