Mariadb 10.5 version and sandbox mode

Rocky Linux Tech Help

Hi All

Not sure if this is the place to post about the package repositories?

On Rocky 9 we get mariadb version 10.5.22

We are migrating some Centos 7 (mariadb community repo) servers which have mariadb 10.5.25

Unfortunately from 10.5.25 mariadb enabled sanbox mode on db dumps which is a breaking change for earlier versions. MariaDB 10.5.25 Release Notes - MariaDB Knowledge Base

You can get around this by removing the first line of the dump file , but that involves gunzipping the file first which makes the required disk space larger.

My question is there any plan to update the mariadb 10.5 soon or should I look at using the mariadb community repo like we did on centos?

I now realise the updates would come from upstream, so my query would not be for Rocky :slight_smile:

Well there is the mariadb dnf module which means version 10.11 is available.

root@rocky9:~# dnf module list mariadb
Name          Stream       Profiles                         Summary             
mariadb       10.11        client, galera, server [d]       MariaDB Module   

dnf module enable mariadb:10.11
