Description
Much like Oracle external table feature, but using mariadb-dump internally, allow an end user to do simple selects (reads) against a flat file that can be comma or pipe delimited. This would really allow easier migrations or one off loads of oracle, sql server, etc... data into MariaDB. As a flat file set limits such as not allowing any updates/inserts/deletes and will not allow an indexing. Only selects are allowed. In this fashion, a CTAS (create table as select) could be done to then fully and easily load the flat file into innodb. See Oracle External Table feature as a guide here.
