I already use mariadb as a mysql server. However, I'm not sure using a node package designed for mysql is a good idea to use for mariadb.
There are actually two node packages:
I currently use mysql, since it seems pretty mature and maintained. It also seems to work well with mariadb on my side.
Are there any restrictions/incompatibilities/security issues to use mysqljs/mysql over mscdex/node-mariasql for a mariadb server?
Thanks

In fact MariaDB is fully compatible with MySQL since it was (and still is) intended to be a perfect replacement for MySQL. A standard MySQL installation comes bundled with a couple of useful tools, such as mysqldump, which is helpful for backups. It can be used with both MySQL and MariaDB.
Generally, Node. js is coupled with MongoDB and other NoSQL databases, but Node. js performs well with relational databases like MySQL, too. If you want to write a new microservice with Node.
“Node. js can only be used with MongoDB (which is the most popular NoSQL database).”
No, it doesn't matter which you use. MariaDB is backwards compatible with MySQL. You could even connect to MySQL with node-mariasql if you wanted.

Hi i am currently working on project with Maria DB and i am using node-mysql for production. It works really well for me. Reason of not using node-mariadb is the number of ratings and maturity of package.
