How to check your version
Which MySQL is this site on?
In SQL
$ mysql -e "SELECT VERSION();"
8.4.6
On the server
$ mysqld --version
mysqld Ver 8.4.6 for Linux
# managed databases (RDS and others) show it in their console
Know before support ends.
Porro reads the PHP, framework and database version from every site and tells you 90 days before support runs out.
