MariaDB turns data into structured information in a wide array of 
applications. It is an enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL. MariaDB is 
used because it is fast, scalable and robust, with a rich ecosystem of 
storage engines, plugins and many other tools make it very versatile for a 
wide variety of use cases.

Would you consider a change in the mysql packages back to using
readline? It should hopefully be as simple as:

CYGCONF_ARGS="--with-readline"

I tried doing a cygport prep with that set, but the mysql package's
patches aren't applying successfully, so I couldn't easily give it a
try.

The reason for the switch back is that the current line-editing lib is
severely crippled compared to readline. There's no search (and the
suggestions I saw for how to enable Ctrl-R don't work), there's no
undo (or redo), there's no Esc-. arg references, there's no word
delete, etc. Also, its save format is quite unreadable (not to mention
that it blew-away my mysql command history in ~/.mysql_history, which
was really quite rude of it).

I know that RHEL/CentOS still uses readline in their mariadb packages,
so hopefully it will be an easy change.
