# Install mariadb Drop-in replacement for MySQL. Version 12.3.2 via Homebrew; verified 2026-05-29. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:mariadb ``` ## Agent safety answer mariadb provides database server and client tooling with data mutation authority. - **Credential access:** Reads database passwords, option files, socket config, and environment credentials. - **Remote mutation:** Can alter schemas, users, and data on reachable database servers. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can export or import data artifacts containing sensitive records. - **Recommended control:** Gate destructive SQL, dumps, imports, and credential file reads. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow safe schema reads; require approval for writes, exports, and credential access.
