Azure Database for MySQL has been developed from MySQL Community Edition, using the InnoDB engine. Azure Database for MySQL currently supports the following versions:
Refer to the MySQL documentation to learn more about improvements and fixes in MySQL 5.6.39.
Refer to the MySQL documentation to learn about improvements and fixes in MySQL 5.7.21.
Note
In the service, a gateway is used to redirect the connections to server instances. After the connection is established, the MySQL client displays the version of MySQL set in the gateway, not the actual version running on your MySQL server instance. To determine the version of your MySQL server instance, use the SELECT VERSION();
command at the MySQL prompt.
The service automatically manages patching for minor version updates. Major version upgrades are not supported (ex. upgrading from MySQL 5.6 to MySQL 5.7).
