[Koha] Patron Club feature

[Krishna K]

Hi Michael,

The below link has a reference to using MariaDB. It says - Koha does not
work well with MySQL 5.7 which is shipped with Ubuntu 16.04. use MariaDB
instead.

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#MySQL.7CMariaDB

I agree with your view in Bug 18962. Now I have the following queries.
Looking forward to help from the Koha community on these

Why Patron Clubs feature didnt get installed when we upgraded to 17.05 ? Is
it because we are having MySql 5.7 ?
Why the upgrade didnt give any error ?
What we should do now to install this feature ?
And should we be moving to MariaDB ? How do we do it ?
