I don’t know the details of how to do that. I have someone that helps me with AWS. 

I plan to start by installing a local copy of the new MySQL version on my development machine to see if my apps work there.

sigh.

Seems the easiest thing is to set up a new database, migrate data and test wtih a new adaptor?

Can you create new RDS alongside the old? Rather than hitting this update button I can just push things over to the new database?

MySQL is retiring a major version and AWS is requiring an upgrade. For now they will charge extra to support the retired version if you don’t upgrade.  I have some old apps nearing end-of-life.  I tried the upgrade and they didn’t work, so I had to revert it all. Total pain. I’m just paying the extra charge for now. 

The newer version has some minor security change that made it so the old driver could not connect. Definitely make sure your app will work with the major version of MySQL before converting RDS.

Oh? I figured nobody changed that adaptor since forever ago — 

Maybe I should download that first before updating?

Make sure the MySQL driver in your app is new enough to work with the new version of SQL! I tried to upgrade and my apps would not connect.

Hi Jesse,

I’m upgrading from a rather old MySQL, this is basically a button press and I suppose I should dump the data in case something goes awry but I cannot see why my boring EO Model would have any trouble using an updated version even if the jump is — well, at least like…I dunno - ten years? 

You mean you're already on RDS and just need to upgrade? I've certainly never encountered any problems, though I'm surprised you could get a decade behind. RDS is more aggressive than that with PostgreSQL, at least, forcing major version updates from time to time.
