mariadb-embedded

mariadb-embedded is a [mariadb client](../mariadb-client/mariadb-command line-client.md), statically linked to libmariadbd, the embedded server.

Previously, the client was called mysql_embedded. It can still be accessed under this name, via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.

Upon execution, an embedded MariaDB server is instantiated, and you can execute statements just as you would using the normal mariadb client, using the same options.

Examples

sudo mariadb-embedded -e 'select user, host, password from mysql.user where user="root"'
+------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| user | host      | password                                  |
+------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| root | localhost | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| root | db1       | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| root | 127.0.0.1 | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| root | ::1       | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
+------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+

Sending options with --server-arg:

sudo mariadb-embedded --server-arg='--skip-innodb'
  --server-arg='--default-storage-engine=myisam' 
  --server-arg='--log-error=/tmp/mysql.err' 
  -e 'select user, host, password from mysql.user where user="root"'
+------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| user | host      | password                                  |
+------+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| root | localhost | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| root | db1       | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| root | 127.0.0.1 | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
| root | ::1       | *196BDEDE2AE4F84CA44C47D54D78478C7E2BD7B7 |
