It’s extremely helpful to load data into a table and has features to load files of fixed line length (without field o line terminators) that can’t be done by a LOAD DATA INFILE sentence.

@Ruben Hi and welcome to the Forum :smile:
You mean /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin/ha_connect.so? If so it’s there. Or are you referring to a different plugin, if so can you provide more info?

zypper search mariadb

Returns this:
