mariadb-install-db
initializes the MariaDB data directory and creates the system tables in the mysql
database,
mariadb-install-db
was added in MariaDB 10.4.6. mariadb-install-db
is a symlink to mysql_install_db
, the client statically linked to the embedded server. In MariaDB 10.5 mariadb-install-db will be the main command and mysql_install_db will be a symlink to mariadb-install-db
.
This is part of an effort to prefix all mariadb-
commands with mariadb-
instead of mysql-
, while still keeping the old commands around to not break any existing scripts.
See mysql_install_db for details.
