Server Versioning
The MySQL Server included in HeatWave on AWS uses a versioning system consisting of three numbers, an update version, and the -cloud
suffix. Using 8.4.0-u2-cloud
as an example:
-
First number: The major release number (
8
in the example). -
Second number: The minor release number (
4
in the example). -
Third number: The patch number (
0
in the example). This is incremented for each new release. -
u
N : The HeatWave-specific update number (u2
in the example). Fixes and feature development for the cloud version of MySQL Server are delivered according to a different schedule than the on-premise version. -
cloud
: Suffix indicating this version of MySQL Server was built for the cloud only.
To retrieve the MySQL Server version number, connect to your DB System using a MySQL client, and run SELECT @@version;
. The following example shows the command and its typical output:
