Hello,

I would like to add support for MySQL/MariaDB and I have some questions about it.

I suppose the nicest way to do it would be to use some haskell binding and to connect directly to the server from propellor. However, this would add a dependency to build it. Is it acceptable?

Another solution is to use a command line client and parse its output, but the SQL syntax is so strange that I fear this will be painful.

Another question is about password generation as I will need many passwords, I would like to generate them using a crypto hash of a secret combined with a public part in the propellor config. Do you have a suggestion to compute this hash? I think a dependency on a hash library is easier to accept.

Thanks.
