Can I connect MariaDB to iDBQuery?

MariaDB is wire-compatible with MySQL, so it connects to iDBQuery through the same standard database connector — the connect, introspect, chat flow is identical.

• You'd connect MariaDB by entering the host, port, database and a read-only user.
• iDBQuery introspects the tables and columns, applies its semantic layer to decode naming, and adds MariaDB to your one live queryable model.
• Then ask in plain language — *"What's our average basket size by month this year?"* — and iDBQuery writes the SQL, runs it against MariaDB, and returns a cited number, chart, table or live dashboard.

The differentiator over pointing a dashboard tool at MariaDB: iDBQuery queries the database in place and cites every figure back to its exact source rows, so any answer can be traced and trusted. Because MariaDB is now part of one model, a single question can span MariaDB and a warehouse, a Postgres replica, a spreadsheet or a SaaS app pulled through the REST API connector — with no ETL or staging to maintain. For self-hosted MariaDB behind a firewall, deploy iDBQuery in your own VPC or air-gapped so the connection never leaves your network, or point iDBQuery at a read replica to keep production untouched.
