Connect to MariaDB

Hi.
Trying to connect to an existing DB.
But after Connect to existing > MySQL/MariaDB
error
 
Downloaded the JDBC Driver but, for the life of me, can’t find out where is the .jar to add to Base!


 
REM: have a DB connected in another machine (not networked) and didn’t have problems with setting it up then. But don’t remeber how I did it.
( :question:)
Thanks in advance.

Point to the .jar file like you did with the sqlite-*.jar

This was my first try. As it failed, then tried to unpack the folder…

Restart the office suite.
Be sure that your office suite is not running in some container.
Does the sqlite driver work for you?

  1. Of course.
  2. No.
  3. Yes.

My version is 2.5.3. Compatibility problem with the very latest versions?

:thinking:
