Ten days ago Oracle posted a message on its website that declared Mysql 57 for the freebsd-platform officially dead. Users are encouraged to upgrade to Mysql 8. That's sort of sad because the whole 5 branch never ever let me down in over 15 years.
Now I've been reading about the licensepolicies and the enforcing of them by Oracle and that didn't strike me as a modus operandi I'm particularly in favor of. So while I was upgrading my testserver from 56 to 8 yesterday I decided to check out MariaDb and it sounds a lot nicer (and more familiar) to me.
Problem is I could not find any documentation concerning the migration from Mysql 8 to a recent version of MariaDb.
Has anybody tried it and is it possible at all? Otherwise I just relapse to 57 and take it from there.
Any suggestions welcome.
