I’ll get it moved up the priority list on the next demo server build, suffice to say it’s ready for public consumption.

MySQL 8.0 LTS goes EOL at the end of April 2026.

Re: MySQL 9.7 LTS is GA; MySQL 8.0 LTS is EOL soon

I’ll update this thread as my first-pass testing is underway.

Sequel Ace connects as expected

I’m using Sequel Ace 5.1.0, it connected to my Debian 13 server with MySQL 9.7 just fine.

Removed: mysql_native_password

mysql_native_password plugin was deprecated in MySQL 8.0, removed in MySQL 9.7. A successor appears to be caching_sha2_password. The following syntax works for creating a user:

CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'beta_demo'@'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'abc123xyz987';
