Why MySQL 5.7 is still getting updates
Why MySQL 5.7 is still getting updates
(OP)
Hi All,
Since MySQL has 8.0, I was with impression that 5.7 won't be getting new updates.
As of October 2022, they still came up and released 5.7.40.
Your insights as to why please.. Thanks

Features are not being added to MySQL 5.7. That is what would be unusual.

Thanks for your reply. Reason I asked this is because I am having problems/issues with MySQL 8.0.31.
There is this kinda unpredictable behaviour when I ran my VFP apps. Some error occasionally pops up.
This is the thread I posted in MySQL:

This never happens in MySQL 5.7.40.

You might also look at MariaDB, the more openly licensed successor/fork to MySQL. The modern MariaDB release might be more backward compatible than MySQL.
