I need to use standard mysql, in plesk it says everywhere that it is mysql but when I login to console it says mariadb.
I understand that it is very similar but this plesk will be hosting staging systems so they must use exactly the technology that the product servers use.
Is it possible to do it somehow using the web interface or do I have to manually install it from console?
As I see it's impossible because plesk-mysql-server package has explicit dependency for mariadb-server.
Yes, you can solve this with --force, but it means further troubles with plesk updates and upgrades.
If you need DB server for some application you can install it on separate server and register it as remote DB server in Tool&Settings > Database Servers.

I have a development server with Mysql. I need mysql specifically as I have used the C++ connector API extensively in my code and this API does not work with MariaDB. I need to install a very secure, easily configurable mail server on this server and have chosen to install iRedMail. The thing is, on Buster, mysql gets replaced by MariaDB when you run the iRedMail install script.
Is there a way to configure iRedMail to run with a mysql backend?
I have tried the following tutorial:
https://docs.iredmail.org/install.iredmail.with.remote.mysql.server.html
It did not work. That is the only one I have found.
I heard that MySQL is a database server. If it is a database server, then what is the need of installing other servers like xampp or lampp? Do xampp or wamp or lampp do other jobs than being a Database server?
XAMPP, WAMP and LAMPP are all stacks for creating web solutions. The acronyms come from A Apache (web server), M MySQL or MariaDb (Database), and P for Perl or PHP for the scripting component.
MySQL itself is just a database server (RDBMS) so you would require additional components to build an overall web solution (provided in the stacks above).
Depending on your operating system, W(Windows), L(Linux) , X(All) then we have Apache, Mysql running at different ports.
PHP including the rest of your code files stored in htdocs as they have corresponding engines in relative XAMP directories (eg php.ini). All these will give you a look and feel of a typical server environment and accommodate your frameworks (laravel, noodle etc) you can't get all that from mysql server alone.
I just started using MongoDB and Node.js with a MEAN Stack (MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node.js) on my local machine and at first I assumed that MongoDB was installed on the Node.js server kind of like MySQL is installed on Apache when you install the LAMP or WAMP stack.
But now I'm not so sure any more :)
How does it work? Where is MongoDB installed? Can I use it without Node.js? Can I use MySQL without a server?
Both MongoDB and MySQL are installed standalone on the host (in your case localhost).
MySQL is not installed on Apache. It's just the PHP interface to MySQL which requires Apache to serve it. You can use the MySQL command line (issue the mysql command in your shell console) without having Apache or PHP installed. The LAMP and WAMP stacks ship with the PHP MySQL interface configured.
MEAN is a similar stack, consisting of each individual component available independently as well as knit together seamlessly as per requirement. You can query a MongoDB hosted on a different machine from the machine you have the MEAN stack on too.
I have a Winforms desktop app that need to read/write data from/to a MYSQL database. The MYSQL server is on a machine that runs on Linux OS. I need to know if a .NET connector is to be used or an ODBC connector?
Also, considering that I do not need remote access to MYSQL server, is a connector sufficient to access the server from the windows desktop? Do I need to do something on the server side? I've been looking around and getting mixed signals, some people said a web service is required while others said no.
I need to know if a .NET connector is to be used or an ODBC connector?
I never connected to MYSQL before, but i think you can use these data provider or, ODBC too.
Is a connector sufficient to access the server from the windows desktop?
Yes. A valid address to your server is all you need to access it, using data providers or ODBC. Of course, your database need to be up and running too.
Do I need to do something on the server side?
Just install your MYSQL database.
Maybe this link will help you.
I have a running sql server installation on which I would like to install the reporting services module. Now because it is very important that the sql server it self keeps available and running without any interruptions I get a little scary about this step.
Now my question. Are there any pittfalls I have to be aware of before I install the module? E.g. does the server restart during the installation?
Can you try this change in a virtual machine first?
For example, use the Disk2vhd application (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx) to make a snapshot of your current production system. Then, use the VHD that was created in Microsoft Virtual PC, Hyper-V, or Windows 7 native VHD boot.
If you try a virtual machine for testing, disable networking or create a private network before starting the virtual machine! Having two servers with the same name and SID on your network is a Bad Thing.
(If you're not using virtual machines, isn't it time? :)
