Im using xampp control panel and from there i start the process for apache and mysql. Then i go to mysql workbench and server status seems to be ok, here is some info

Host: Windows-PC
Socket: C:/xampp/mysql/mysql.sock
Port: 3306
Version 10.1.31-MariaDB mariadb.org binary distribution
Compiled For: Win32(32)
Configuratin File: unknown

Then everytime when i try to add the foreign key for my dummy schema like:

 ALTER TABLE `puppies`.`animals` 
 ADD INDEX `Breed_idx` (`BreedID` ASC) VISIBLE;
 ;
 ALTER TABLE `puppies`.`animals` 
 ADD CONSTRAINT `Breed`
 FOREIGN KEY (`BreedID`)
 REFERENCES `puppies`.`breeds` (`Breed`)
 ON DELETE NO ACTION
 ON UPDATE NO ACTION;

I get the following error

 ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that 
 corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 
 '' at line 2
 SQL Statement:
 ALTER TABLE `puppies`.`animals` 
 ADD INDEX `Breed_idx` (`BreedID` ASC) VISIBLE

So what can i do so that xampp will start using mysql syntax over mariaDb?

Or if im wrong in my understanding of the problem, then what should i do so that i dont have to face this kind of issues again when using xampp?
