I have HRD Logbook v6.7.0.391 and changed the database to mariaDB because logbook was really slow. It works fine now. But WSJT-X v2.5.4 will not log to HRD logbook anymore.
are you logging directly from WSJT-X or from JTAlert? I converted my HRD database to mariaDB for the same reason as you and log through JTAlert. I just had to tell JTAlert the details of the new mariaDB datbase and it works just fine. Jim N1NK
