+# MariaDB example
+
+This example was tested with MariaDB version 10.7.3 and Ubuntu 20.04.
+
+This directory contains an example for running MariaDB server in Gramine,
+including the Makefile and a template for generating the manifest.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- `curl -LsS https://r.mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash -s -- --mariadb-server-version="mariadb-10.7.3" --os-type=ubuntu --os-version=focal` to use
+MariaDB package repository setup script.
+- `sudo apt-get update` to update package cache.
+- `sudo apt-get install mariadb-server` to install MariaDB server.
+- `sudo mysql_secure_installation` to improve the security of your MariaDB installation. Fill
+the details as below.
+    - Enter current password for root (enter for none): --> enter
+    - Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] --> n
+    - Change the root password? --> y
+    - Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] --> y
+    - Disallow root login remotely? --> y
+    - Remove test database and access to it? --> y
+    - Reload privilege tables now? --> y
+- `systemctl stop mysqld` to stop the default MariaDB server. We will
+  manually start MariaDB server.
+- `sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /run/mysqld`
+  to allow MariaDB server to create socket file `mysqld.sock`.
+- `sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/lib/mysql` to allow
+  running MariaDB server under the current non-root user.
+
+## Build
+
+Run `make` to build the non-SGX version and `make SGX=1` to build the SGX
+version.
+
+## Run
+
+- Native: `mysqld`.
+- Gramine without SGX: `gramine-direct mysqld`.
+- Gramine with SGX: `gramine-sgx mysqld`.
+
+## Test client connection
+
+Run below commands from new terminal:
+
+- `mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1` to connect a client to MariaDB server.
+- `mysql> exit` to disconnect the client.
