my_win_sopen() only checked the length of the raw path it was given, but the server opens table files via paths relative to its data directory, so a short relative path can still overflow MAX_PATH once resolved against a long enough datadir. That case was misreported as ER_BAD_DB_ERROR instead of ER_CANT_CREATE_TABLE/ENAMETOOLONG. Resolve the path via GetFullPathName() before deciding whether the path was too long, factored into resolved_path_too_long(). A failed resolve is only treated as too-long when GetLastError() is ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE, so unrelated resolution failures keep mapping to the original CreateFile error. Also fix the global errtable mapping of ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE: it was mapped to ENOENT, so any Win32 call that got that error code directly (not via ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND) was misreported the same way.

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:
https://mariadb.com/docs/release-notes
Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
Help
More help is available from the Maria Discuss mailing list https://lists.mariadb.org/postorius/lists/discuss.lists.mariadb.org/ and MariaDB's Zulip instance, https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/
Licensing
MariaDB is specifically available only under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (GPLv2). (I.e. Without the "any later version" clause.) This is inherited from MySQL. Please see the README file in the MySQL distribution for more information.
