mysql/mariadb under openSuse

I have a new installation of openSuse Leap 15.2, which includes
mariadb-10.4.17 and Lazarus 2.0.6

I have a existing program which worked under Debian. It uses
TSQLConnector 5.7

In openSuse, the program fails as it cannot load the client library:
libmysqlclient.so.20 I cannot find this library using Suse
repositories.

Any suggestions?

I'm on openSuse tumbleweed and there is libmysqlclient.so only a
symbolic link to libmariadb.so.3. This link is installed by the
libmariadb-devel package.

The "MySQL 5.7"-connector is working, just as the "MySQL
5.6"-connector.

Many thanks - indeed the symlink was missing, although YAST showed the
package installed.
