i've installed

i use mariadb

rpm -qa | grep -Ei "^mysql|^mariadb"
    mariadb-sysusers-git_1.0-0.20240812_133520.fc40.noarch

mariadb -V
    mariadb from 11.4.4-MariaDB, client 15.2 for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

where

echo $PATH
    /usr/local/mariadb-lts/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

which mariadb
    /usr/local/mariadb-lts/bin/mariadb

and the mysql-equivalent commands are provided as symlinks

cd /usr/local/mariadb-lts/bin
ls -l mysql* | awk '{print $9, "->", $NF}'
    mysql -> mariadb*
    mysqlaccess -> mariadb-access*
    mysqladmin -> mariadb-admin*

    mysql_tzinfo_to_sql -> mariadb-tzinfo-to-sql*
    mysql_upgrade -> mariadb-upgrade*
    mysql_waitpid -> mariadb-waitpid*

on exec, wp-cli returns deprecation warnings

wp-cli db check
    mysqlcheck: Deprecated program name. It will be removed in a future release, use '/usr/local/mariadb-lts/bin/mariadb-check' instead
    ...

currently, the wp-cli return with the deprecation notice causes some grief mainly with scripts. but it will likely, eventually break.

as mysql/mariadb continue to diverge, MDB's deprecating the mysql* cmds. not entirely sure where the end of the thread is, but these are a start

"Remove MySQL names" https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-30201

"deprecate mysql* names" https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-29582

it'll be useful to get native mariadb command support in wp-cli.

not just warnings, but failures

where

ls -al `which mysql`
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 11 20:00 /usr/local/mariadb-lts/bin/mysql -> mariadb*

and

DB_NAME=$(wp-cli config get DB_NAME)
SITE_URL=$(wp-cli option get siteurl)
SITE_NAME=$(wp-cli option get blogname)
THEME_NAME=$(wp-cli theme list --status=active --field=name)

this works

SQL_QUERY="SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_value LIKE '%$SITE_URL%' OR option_value LIKE '%$SITE_NAME%' OR option_value LIKE '%$THEME_NAME%';"

mariadb ${DB_NAME} -e "$SQL_QUERY"

as does

mysql ${DB_NAME} -e "$SQL_QUERY"

but,

wp-cli db query "${SQL_QUERY}"
    Error: Failed to get current SQL modes. Reason: /usr/bin/env: ‘mysql’: No such file or directory

Isn't this a duplicate of #270, which you opened 2 weeks ago?

[pgnd]

@swissspidy

ugh. :facepalm: completely forgot that! sorry for the noise ...

i'll close THAT and leave THIS, since I'm dealing with the FAILs now.

@pgnd could you check this patch https://github.com/wp-cli/db-command/pull/274?
