Connecting Java and MariaDB with ADBC

Instructions

Tip

If you already have a MariaDB instance running, skip the steps to set up and clean up MariaDB.

Prerequisites

1. Install Maven

2. Install dbc

Set up MariaDB

1. Install Docker

2. Start a MariaDB instance:

   docker run --detach --name some-mariadb -p 3306:3306 --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw mariadb:latest

Connect to MariaDB

1. Install the MySQL ADBC driver:

   dbc install mysql

2. Customize the main method in Example.java

   • Change the connection arguments in the params.put() calls
     • Format uri according to the DSN (Data Source Name) format used by Go-MySQL-Driver, or keep it as is
   • If you changed which database you're connecting to, also change the SQL SELECT statement in stmt.setSqlQuery()

3. Run the Java program:

   mvn compile exec:exec

Clean up

Stop the Docker container running MariaDB:

docker stop some-mariadb
