Maxscale compatibility

[Martin]

Hi

Would like to know if Maxscale is compatible with community version of MariaDB.If yes, which version is compatible.

Thanks

Hi,

MaxScale is compatible with all non-EOL versions of MariaDB, both community and enterprise versions. Very old versions like MariaDB 5.5 might work but aren't guaranteed to work with the latest releases.

Hi 

We are using community version of both  Maxscale  22.8 and  mariadb is 10.5.16.   Is this compatible ?

Thanks

Martin

Yes, those versions are compatible.

Hi,

MaxScale is mostly compatible with MySQL 5.6, 5.7 and 8. The only things
that aren't supported are of course any features in MaxScale that
require MariaDB-specific extensions e.g. causal_reads in readwritesplit
and anything that assumes a MariaDB-style GTID implementation.

MaxScale also does not directly support the caching_sha2_password
authentication that MySQL 8 uses by default. You'll need to configure
MySQL 8 to use mysql_native_password authentication in order for
MaxScale to work with it.

Hi Markus,

Further to that question & your answer: we are running mysql and are
testing maxscale now with mariadb. But: how about maxscale and MYSQL?
Does the same kind of mariadb compatibility apply to maxscale when
combined with mysql?
(as in: would it be possible to start using maxscale, while keeping
our mysql backends?)

Thanks, and sorry for hijacking your thread, just thought the above is
related enough.

Thanks, and: great to see how responsive the maxscale devs are on this list!!
