    No, it's the same database, but a different driver :-) The old one is buggy and doesn't work with the latest versions of the database.

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      It's not the driver distinction (which is a useful heads up), but the very mention of MySQL/MariaDB that will likely bring the PostgreSQL enthusiasts and possibly other DB proponents out.

        No worry on choice of database since I can only use MySQL since it's already set-up by DBA and unlikely I can request any other database.
