Description
Support for using native Oracle connectors together with MariaDB backends.
MariaDB has an Oracle mode, which makes the SQL of MariaDB to be compatible with the SQL of Oracle. However, in order to use it, the Oracle clients needs to use an ODBC connector, which then under the hood implements the MariaDB protocol. That is, Oracle clients using native Oracle connectors cannot connect to MariaDB.
By implementing in MaxScale an Oracle protocol plugin that speaks towards the client using the Oracle protocol, but then converts the Oracle protocol into the MariaDB protocol, support for clients using native Oracle connectors can be provided.
