Describe this PR
I have never used Prisma before, and it took me quite a lot of extra effort to figure out if Prisma supports MariaDB at all because the documentation was only mentioning MySQL. After some digging, I found that indeed Prisma uses both https://www.npmjs.com/package/mariadb for the connector and https://hub.docker.com/_/mariadb as part of the CI, and MariaDB support is actually excellent.
Sequalize has very clear MariaDB documentation, and if you merge this PR then Prisma will be on-par.
Changes
Each commit is atomic and carefully documented - please review this PR by looking commit-by-commit looking at the message and the change at the same time.
Looking at git log in 500-databases and e.g. 4358a41 seems you prefer to squash when merging. Please merge this PR as-is without squashing to avoid loosing the per-commit documentation.
I am also happy to iterate on the contents of this PR based on your feedback. I am also happy to rebase frequently.
