Connecting Python and MariaDB with ADBC

Instructions

Tip

If you already have a MariaDB instance running, skip the steps to set up and clean up MariaDB.

Start a MariaDB instance:

docker run --detach --name some-mariadb -p 3306:3306 --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw mariadb:latest

Install the MySQL ADBC driver:
```
dbc install mysql
```
Customize the Python script main.py as needed
- Change the connection arguments in db_kwargs
  - Format uri according to the DSN (Data Source Name) format used by Go-MySQL-Driver, or keep it as is
- If you changed which database you're connecting to, also change the SQL SELECT statement in cursor.execute()
Run the Python script:
```
uv run main.py
```

Stop the Docker container running MariaDB:

docker stop some-mariadb
