Description:
Hi all, This is just a feature request so not anything pressing:

We have a couple of servers running MariaDB instead of MySQL. When connecting to them, we receive the warning message that indicates that there may be a compatibility issue.

This is absolutely fine and I completely understand and respect the warning. However, once I've accepted this message the first time I don't really need to see it again.

Would it be possible to add a configuration option so that it only shows the once for each saved connection?

Thanks,
Paul.

How to repeat:
Connect to a MariaDB server
Warning message appears when connecting to let user know the database may not be compatible
Close workbench
Re-open workbench and connect to the same MariaDB server
Warning message appears again

Suggested fix:
Add a configuration option so that the warning message only shows the once for each saved connection?
