Upgrade to MySQL 9.7: security fixes until 30 Apr 2034.

What to upgrade to

Go to 9.7.

9.7 is the newest supported long-term MySQL cycle, with security fixes until 30 Apr 2034.

Before you upgrade

Take a backup and restore it on the new version before you upgrade for real. LTS releases get fixes for years; innovation releases only until the next one. Read the MySQL 9.7 upgrade guide

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.
