Connecting to a MariaDB

Hello

As I understand it, Blue Prism per default only connects to MSSQL. Is there a way to connect to a MariaDB?

While Blue Prism Enterprise requires the use of MS SQL Server/Azure SQL for locating the BPE back-end database (source: software and hardware requirements), it is possible to use Blue Prism to connect to and interact with a MariaDB via the Microsoft Azure management API. There is a ready-made asset on our Digital Exchange that could help with this here: Maria DB Management Client

Thank you for replying, Steven.

We managed to resolve the issue today, using the MySQL asset from Digital Exchange.
We struggled making it work until we placed the .dll that comes with it in the Blue Prism folder, instead of on a network drive, at changing the path. Once we did that it was pretty straight forward.
