- Unfortunately, the new JSONField did not play nice w/MySQL when query was
generated before a conn was opened. We were trying to do some introspection
on the server version, but I've decided instead to makemariadb=be a
database param, per @alisonatwork's suggestion, with the default being
"MySQL" flavored JSON. Refs #3053 JSONFieldcontainment (contains,contained_by) no longer wraps its
argument inCAST/JSON_COMPACTon MySQL/MariaDB, #3053.
