title: MySQL Connector/C++ with MariaDB
body: <p>I just learned that Debian 9 (releasing around June 2017) is replacing MySQL with MariaDB 10.  I have never used MariaDB before, but all of my C++ code works with MySQL using their <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-cpp/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">connector</a>.  </p>
  
  <p>My question is, will this connector work with MariaDB?  Does the connector version matter at all?  Does anyone have any experience in connecting to MariaDB from C++?</p>
  
  <p>I see Maria has a connector <a href="https://launchpad.net/mariadb++" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but where is their documentation on how to use it?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
