Hello,

Our ResourceSpace instance is currently backed by MySQL 8.0.42. All 8.0.x versions will be going EOL in April 2026. Has anyone done an in-place upgrade of MySQL 8.0.x to 8.4.x and can share their experience? There isn't much, if any information on the official RS website or KB pertaining to MySQL upgrades.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

We've an internal job to test against MySQL 8.4 and will patch as appropriate before the EOL date.

I would be interested to know if you've had any issues with 8.4 or if it just worked for you.

Hi Dan,

We have not upgraded to MySQL 8.4 yet. Are there any general things to look out for or do when upgrading the backend DB engine?
