Check MySQLConnector's compatibility with your Mysql version

[kyuhwan]

I am using mysqlconnector version 0.60.1 in .net core by nuget package reference. However, I am about to upgrade mysql version from 8.0.28 to 8.0.35 due to the mysql version support expiration notice from AWS, will there be any compatibility issues?

I can't find it in the release notes, so I'm asking for help.

You'll need to create a test database instance and try it out. That version of MySqlConnector is over four years old and may contain a lot of bugs that have been fixed in the meantime.

Is there any way to find out in advance other than that?

[bgrainger]

To find out for certain? No. The only way to know for sure would be to run MySqlConnector 0.60.1 against MySQL Server 8.0.35.

That said: if it works with MySQL Server 8.0.28, it'll probably work fine with 8.0.35; I don't think there were major compatibility issues between those two versions.

For now, we've confirmed that there are no issues in the local environment, so we've pushed it to the development environment and are monitoring it.
