MYSQL_JSON plugin is created in MariaDB as a bridge to bypass the confusion between MySQL and MariaDB JSON data type representation and to help MariaDB users in that regard. Purpose of this talk will be to highlight how to convert MySQL data directory containing JSON native data type in MySQL to the MariaDB data directory where JSON is stored as an alias for LONGTEXT and how to deal with errors in that process.

This talk will show how to use LibreOffice's graphical user interface (GUI) to interact with your favorite database. It will cover how to connect LibreBase to a MariaDB database (both free and open source software) in order to inspect and play with your data, especially for new users. Through a live demo, all steps will be presented to successfully start LibreBase and MariaDB through Docker, and how to integrate them through the MariaDB ODBC connector. The process will show how to solve problems with a wrong setup and packages. At the end, a Dockerfile will be created to build the image and automate the above process.
