The currrent version of MariaDB on VMS is 5.5 (the basic offfspring of MySQL 5.5) but this is quite out-of-date. Current open source programs often require MariaDB 10, more precise: 10.6. Is there a chance that VSI - or any C/C++ guru - will port this to VMS?
(I have no knowlegde of DB internals or C/C++, so I cannot do this)

According to Mark Berryman in some old comp.os.vms thread then newer MariaDB versions require a newer C++ standard than what the traditional VMS C++ compiler supports, so we have to wait for CLang on VMS x86-64.

Generally, Arne is right. Until a newer C++ standard is available on OpenVMS, it is impossible to port MariaDB 10.x. As soon as Clang reaches maturity on OpenVMS, we will definitely look at porting MariaDB 10.

Re: MariaDB 10
At this point in time I would gladly accept mariadb-5 for no other reason than to install the client software so that I can connect to a remote database (MariaDB or MySQL) from DCL. As I understand it, a C11 compatible C compiler is not required to build mariadb-5

Re: MariaDB 10
I have reported a couple of bugs on the C compiler. I can't build MariaDB until they are resolved. I'll be trying again once the next update is released.
