Yup, as MariaDB is essentially a drop in replacement for MySQL. So anything that works with MySQL, including the DSN should work in MariaDB too.

There's some exceptions, MariaDB can take a while to merge newer features from MySQL, but for 99% of it there's no difference. – tadman Sep 03 '17 at 00:52
