ExpressionEngine versions and MYSQL support

Question

Does anyone have a link to the MYSQL version supported by different versions of ExpressionEngine? I need to upgrade the MYSQL version on a server containing several EE sites. Thanks, Clive

Answer 1

You can dig through the various documentation flavours. From this I can see :

• EE 2.10 = MySQL 5.0.3 or newer
• EE 2.9 = MySQL 5.0.3 or newer
• EE 2.8 = MySQL 5.0.3 or newer

How far back do you need to go?? Using the Wayback Machine I can see older version requirments :

• EE 2.7 = MySQL 5.0.3+ (Feb 22 2014)
• EE 2.6 = MySQL 5.0.3+ (Apr 25 2013)
• EE 2.5 = MySQL 4.1+ (Nov 29 2012) <== this is where the current documentation site started.

You need to go back any further?? Ok then! Wayback @ expressionengine.com

• EE 2.4 = MySQL 4.1+ (Jan 26 2012)
• EE 2.3 = MySQL 4.1+ (Oct 24 2011)

More?? You want MOREEEE? (Oliver Twist reference) EE2.2Wayback

• EE 2.2 = MySQL 4.1+ (~Jun 24 2011)
• EE 2.1 = MySQL 4.1+ (~Oct 15 2010)
• EE 2.0 = Beta, if your running sites on this, well....

Answer 2

And if you're upgrading to MySQL 5.7.5+ you'll need EE 2.11.0+
