MariaDB connection helps you connect to a **MariaDB database** and run queries directly from Infoveave.


## Adding a MariaDB Connection

To create a new MariaDB connection:
<Steps>
1. Go to the **Database** section.
2. Select **MariaDB** from the available connectors.
3. Fill in the required connection details in the **New MariaDB Connection** form.
</Steps>

## Connection Parameters

When setting up a MariaDB connection, you need to provide the following details:

| Field      | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **Name**   | A unique name to identify your connection. |
| **Port**   | Port number for MariaDB (default is `3306`). |
| **Server** | The MariaDB server endpoint. |
| **Username** | Your MariaDB username. |
| **Password** | The corresponding password for the username. |
