Safe to upgrade to MySQL 5.7?

Featured Replies

Just to be on the safe side. Will the IPS software work as intended with MySQL 5.7?

Yes

It even works on MySQL 8   😁

Until someone else replies they (appear) to be more like strict_mode errors, assuming its selectable in later mySQL versions.

Thanks Andy. I was able to fix them easily myself. I posted them here just to make it clear that there may be issues that IPS are unaware of.

MySQL 5.7 enables strict mode by default. So you have to set a default value for all fields that might not get a value set during an INSERT statement.

We actually develop under strict mode (it's enforced through \IPS\Db when IN_DEV is enabled). This would be specific to your site. That column should have a default value of an empty string.

Yes, what Ryan said.

Beyond that, if you run into an issue using our software, it is typically better to submit a technical support ticket than to tag a specific developer here on the forums. We don't always have the ability to review everything and/or resolve issues reported here, where-as a ticket will ensure the issue is looked into and addressed, if needed.
