show(object)Details
The "MySQLConnection" class is a subclass of "MariaDBConnection".
Objects of that class are created by dbConnect(MariaDB(), ..., mysql = TRUE)
to indicate that the server is a MySQL server.
The RMariaDB package supports both MariaDB and MySQL servers, but the SQL dialect
and other details vary.
The default is to detect the server type based on the version number.
The older RMySQL package also implements the "MySQLConnection" class.
The S4 system is able to distinguish between RMariaDB and RMySQL objects
even if both packages are loaded.
