I installed MariaDB on my server (both client and server), and now want to also connect to an external MySQL server from it.
It seems like although the client command is mysql, the version is MariaDB:
$ mysql --version
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.0.4-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Is there any harm in using this to connect to MySQL servers?
