Hi,

There is no XAMPP version 3.2.2

Generally speaking: no. We don't support any replacement of any of the core components.
But MySQL is loosely coupled with the other components, so technically it is possible to install an standalone MySQL Server and use this with PHP.
You for sure need to couple phpMyAdmin yourself and cannot start this MySQL Server with the XAMPP control panel.

best wishes,

Simply click the button "Continue anyway", that worked for me.

Dont worry I have since came to my senses! I now prefer MariaDB.

Being of the older generation I was resistent to change - but my eyes was opened, reading more about it.

Thanx for the kind responses.

Now can I ask if there is something else similar to Workbench that works better with MariaDB?

I don't know which of them are good or not and how up to date these information is.
I prefer to use phpMyAdmin or the command line interface but have experiences with Oracle MySQL Workbench and HeidiSQL too.
