#### Deploys and manages MariaDB 10.6 on Kubernetes.

**Experimental charm — not for production use.**

This charm is a temporary placeholder developed specifically to support the
Frappe HRMS K8s charm while it awaits native PostgreSQL / MySQL support.
It is not a general-purpose MariaDB operator and will be retired once
Frappe HRMS gains first-class support for a supported database backend.

A Kubernetes charm that deploys MariaDB 10.6 via Pebble.

After deployment the unit reaches active/idle immediately, ready to
accept `database` relation requests from consumer charms (e.g.
frappe-hrms-k8s). On each request the charm creates a dedicated
MariaDB database and user, then writes the credentials back to the
relation so the consumer can connect.

The charm uses the `mysql_client` interface, compatible with the
data-platform-libs `DatabaseRequires`/`DatabaseProvides` libraries.
