title: MySQL server on Ubuntu 19.04 WITHOUT the MariaDB engine
body: <p>I need to upgrade/move a 5.7 version of mysql on ubuntu 18.04 so that it's still 5.7 but does not use the MariaDB engine. Everything I can find online talks about moving from Mysql to MariaDB, not the other way around. I'm not even sure there is a way to do this. </p>
  
  <p>I'm stuck with having to install a webapp that uses MySQL but cannot use MariaDB. The creators of the app have assured the user community that it's "an easy upgrade" but then provide no details. </p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
