Help with moving from MySQL to MariaDB, features and compatibility

Answer Answered by Ali Jam in this comment.

I asked but no answers so I inspected and found the issue, I post here so if anyone needs to benefit the mariadb 10 for even older and non-supported versions can use this quick fix.

hope it helps

in libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php or (depending on your setting) ibraries/joomla/database/database/mysqli.php

comment the line 186

return ($verParts[0] == 5 || ($verParts[0] == 4 && $verParts[1] == 1 && (int)$verParts[2] >= 2));

and add this instead(assuming these days you'll have unicode supported database: return (1);

the code looks like:

  function hasUTF()
  {
  $verParts = explode( '.', $this->getVersion() );
  //return ($verParts[0] == 5 || ($verParts[0] == 4 && $verParts[1] == 1 && (int)$verParts[2] >= 2));
  return (1);
  }

Best
