 Description   

I would like to ask the MariaDB development team to consider adding "mariadb" as a JDBC URL protocol, for example "jdbc:mariadb://localhost:3306/test". This would be useful for persistence components that examine the JDBC URL to more easily identify MariaDB and leverage MariaDB's improvements and distinguished capabilities over MySQL.

This already works

While it works, the intention was not to easily identify MariaDB. One can easily identify mariadb by examining the version string that server sends during authentication. we know when it is mariadb. The actualy intenion was to run tests easily and compare ConnectorJ and MariaDB JDBC behavior, so to tell one driver from another jdbc:mariadb prefix was used (and ConnectorJ jar was put into classpath before MariaDB JDBC jar).

External components should be using DatabaseMetaData to detect MariaDB, rather than JDBC URL.
If DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseProductVersion() contains "MariaDB" , it is MariaDB
