Hello,

I just moved to a new server and since I'm in the midst of revamping ... what version of MySQL should I be running that is stable, fast and efficient?

Currently, I'm on Version 5.5.5-10.3.32-MariaDB

Thanks!

5.6 is the minimum. We would recommend using the latest stable release of the platform though.

Hi Marc...

I am using MySQL 5.7....  But MySQL 8 is available and recommended on my server.

Do you recommend?  Any issues?

Thank you!

Which is best....

MySQL 8 works just fine and is fully supported.  🙂 

Always best to use the latest stable release if you can, as it will tend to have the best performance.

Thank you Randy and Marc.  It seemed a huge jump in Version and I did not want to take any chances 😉

 

Of course, its always better to ask if you're not sure
