Update MYSQL to 8.0.34 or 8.1

AdamM

Hi
Enhance uses version 8.0.28 MySQL which was released on 2022-01-18.
I think it would make sense to update it to at least version 8.0.34 released 2023-07-18 which has many bug fixes.
For me it is important that the software is always up to date and contains as many bug fixes as possible.
Is there a chance for updates in Enhance MySQL?

The problem may be with compatibility but it seems to me that version 8.0.34 will not cause problems in the production environment, but I will gladly apply for testing.
Or can I manually update MySQL to 8.0.34 myself?

In addition, Oracle has announced a new LTS support policy for MySQL - https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/post/introducing-mysql-innovation-and-longterm-support-lts-versions

The next LTS release will be MySQL 8.4 so it would be worthwhile for Enhance to use this version in the future and update in patches.

When we release the MariaDB feature, this totally changes the way MySQL (or MariaDB) is deployed. It will be possible to update to the latest version outside of Enhance.

Thx Adam for reply.
Only at your own risk without an official Enhance update?

We misunderstood, it was a reply to your message.

How will this work? can you provide more details?

Adam Is this now possible? What would the procedure be?
@AdamM Did you manage to do it?

Adam

I would strongly recommend against manually updating MySQL at this time, Enhance assumes the MySQL version to be the one in the deployed Docker container.

Waiting for the day MariaDB comes to life in Enhance.

AdamM

digitalexpanse Of course, this also applies to Mariadb and updates.

From what I asked, this is not possible.
