Default value is OFF. +Whether to enable MySQL/MariaDB support for server. Requires at least MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB 10.2. Setting to ON requires the `libmariadbclient-dev`, `libmysqlcppconn-dev` and `libboost-dev` libraries installed, which are also provided as bundled libraries for the common platforms. Default value is OFF. Note that the bundled MySQL libraries might not work properly on your system. If you run into connection problems with the MySQL server, for example that it connects as root while you chose another user, make sure to install your system libraries for the MySQL client and C++ connector. Make sure that the CMake configuration summary says that it found MySQL libs that were not bundled (no "using bundled libs").
