Might want to search for mariadb-(client|server) instead?
They changed to it with Debian 9... -
bahua124726yYeah, Debian prioritizes MariaDB, which is a libre fork of MySQL, since it got acquired by (O)ne (R)ich (A)sshole (C)alled (L)arry (E)llison. -
bahua124726yAlso, all the mysql commands work for MariaDB. Same commands, same syntax. Same DB structure, as far as I know. -
Root772306y@bahua There are differences, sometimes important ones, but Maria is a drop-in replacement in almost every case. Often, it just does the same things better and the difference is transparent.
