Upgrading from MariaDB 10.4 to MariaDB 10.5

How to upgrade from MariaDB 10.4 to MariaDB 10.5


In this blog we have explained how to upgrade from MariaDB 10.4 to MariaDB 10.5 safely. We strongly recommend you to do a complete MariaDB database backup using Mariabackup before upgrading from MariaDB 10.4 to MariaDB 10.5. The following process is recommended to successfully upgrade from MariaDB 10.4 to MariaDB 10.5:

  1. Modify the repository configuration, so the system’s package manager installs MariaDB 10.4. For example,
  2. Stop MariaDB.
  3. Uninstall the old version of MariaDB.
    • On Debian, Ubuntu, and other similar Linux distributions, execute the following:
      sudo apt-get remove mariadb-server
    • On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and other similar Linux distributions, execute the following:
      sudo yum remove MariaDB-server
    • On SLES, OpenSUSE, and other similar Linux distributions, execute the following:
      sudo zypper remove MariaDB-server
  4. Install the new version of MariaDB.
  5. Make any desired changes to configuration options in option files, such as my.cnf. This includes removing any options that are no longer supported.
  6. Start MariaDB.
  7. Run mysql_upgrade.
    • mysql_upgrade does two things:
      1. Ensures that the system tables in the#mysql database are fully compatible with the new version.
      2. Does a very quick check of all tables and marks them as compatible with the new version of MariaDB
