Some old projects only compatible with mysql 5.6/5.7 or even older, if you can provide an option to change MySQL version will be better.
Another small question, I use show variables; to get config like innodb_buffer_pool_size, only 32MB, maybe too low for an 1GB RAM machine, hope you can tune it or provide option to change it.
Hi there! I can see how that is difficult, and we do that for Postgres. I’m asking internally and will come back with an answer shortly!
Alright! So. Turns out that we’re working on getting support for two versions (a stable and a canary version) but those will be new versions and not support 5.x.
Until now MySQL didn’t have the concept of major or LTS versions for their 8.x stream and they are just getting onto that. That means you can’t go backwards as the versions are not compatible. But I’m sure you’re very aware of that.
