Hi,

I wonder if someone can help with this question that stumps me every
upgrade.

The manual page for upgrading lists the MySQL requirement as MySQL
version 'or equivalent MariaDB' (e.g. MySQL 5.5.8+ (or equivalent
MariaDB) for 1.36.2).

From our wiki's version page, I can see that our hosting provider has
10.2.36-MariaDB installed, and I assume this is sufficient for meeting
the requirement for upgrading to 1.36.2.

However, is there anywhere where I can check which MariaDB version is
equivalent to which MySQL version (apologies if this a daft question
coming from a non-tech person)?

Many thanks,

Sven

You can have look at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/ to see the roughly equivalent mariadb versions to mysql versions. The version you have available is probably OK even though it is a rather old version.

Thank you for the reply and link. This is the page that I had based my
assumption on. It feels a bit like guess work, though.
