+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### MySQL has failing tests
+
+Our test suite is developed with mariadb. That is why some test, those which
+check constraints based on auto-generated names, fail because MySQL generates
+other names.
+
+Also some test fail with the message "Expected: NULL / Was: NULL" which is
+obviously what was expected.
+
+Please look carefully through the tests. If something more serious than that
+comes up, please report a bug.
