Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB 5.5.30 now available

Dan,
I don't know where I read this warning, in this forum or some other, but 
there should be a warning to users who convert to Mariadb from MySQL.  
Yes, they can convert to Mariadb, but they may not be able to go back to 
MySQL once they used Mariadb on the database.  I have not yet made that 
transition, so I have no direct experience with this and cannot 
corroborate it.  If it is true, then a warning about this should be 
included with LO documentation referring to using Mariadb.
