In RMariaDB: Database Interface and MariaDB Driver

#' Class MariaDBConnection.
#'
#' `"MariaDBConnection"` objects are usually created by [DBI::dbConnect()].
#' They represent a connection to a MariaDB or MySQL database.
#'
#' The `"MySQLConnection"` class is a subclass of `"MariaDBConnection"`.
#' Objects of that class are created by `dbConnect(MariaDB(), ..., mysql = TRUE)`
#' to indicate that the server is a MySQL server.
#' The \pkg{RMariaDB} package supports both MariaDB and MySQL servers, but the SQL dialect
#' and other details vary.
#' The default is to detect the server type based on the version number.
#'
#' The older \pkg{RMySQL} package also implements the `"MySQLConnection"` class.
#' The S4 system is able to distinguish between \pkg{RMariaDB} and \pkg{RMySQL} objects
#' even if both packages are loaded.
