Hello, Tobias Geerinckx-Rice!

I use su, just for own commodit= y. The difference for me is that su does not need to type 'sudo' every time= .

Some howtos mention meariadb package, the others type mysql.

What is the difference between ma= riadb and mysql?

Hullo,

When you've reconfigured your system adding m= ysql service to your config file you can either install mysql for root user=

Just curious: why for root? Do you p= refer su to sudo, or does it make a real difference?

w= ith `# guix package -i mysql` or add mysql package system-wide (for all use= rs) in '(packages ...)' section in your system config.

Hmm. It's important to note that Guix's (historically-named) = =E2=80=99mysql-service=E2=80=99 actually uses MariaDB by default:

;; From gnu/services/databases.scm:

(define-record-type* <mysql-configuration>=

mysql-configuration make= -mysql-configuration

mysq= l-configuration?

(mysql m= ysql-configuration-mysql (default mariadb))

(port mysql-configuration-port (default 3306)))

However, the =E2=80=98mysql=E2=80=99 package *is* actually = MySQL, not MariaDB.

I don't know how compatible the= two projects still are, but it's probably much safer to install =E2=80=98m= ariadb=E2=80=99 instead.

<= br>

$ guix package -i mariadb=

Hope you enjoy GuixSD!

+1000!

(Though s/SD/ System ;-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
