MySQL overview
MySQL, the industry-leading open-source SQL database, is an accessible, easy-to-use relational database management system (RDBMS). As an alternative to Oracle and SQL server, MySQL offers features and capabilities that were once only available to users of expensive proprietary systems.
What’s new in version 8.0.35
Audit Log Notes
- Added the new audit_log_filter_uninstall.sql script to simplify removing MySQL Enterprise Audit. For information about this plugin, see MySQL Enterprise Audit. (Bug #35611072)
Authentication Notes
- The pluggable FIDO authentication method is deprecated and subject to removal in a future MySQL release. (WL #15006)
C API Notes
- Earlier distributions, such as MySQL 5.1 and MySQL 5.0, included servers that did not advertise pluggable authentication. When a newer client using any pluggable authentication method attempted to connect to one of these older servers, the server emitted a “bad handshake” error message. This fix now ensures that client-side authentication (specifically, the --default-auth option) works properly for all servers, including those that do not support pluggable authentication. In addition, mysql_native_password now replaces caching_sha2_password as the default authentication method when the server does not support pluggable authentication. (Bug #90994, Bug #28082093)
- The mysql_ssl_set() C API function is deprecated and subject to removal in a future MySQL release. There are equivalent mysql_options() TLS options for all mysql_ssl_set() parameters. (WL #11091)
Compilation Notes
- Fixed the WITH_DEVELOPER_ENTITLEMENTS macOS CMake option; it did not activate due to a typo. (Bug #35374026)
- Fixed a string concatenation warning produced when compiling with Clang 12. (Bug #111614, Bug #35549962)
- Made additional improvements to WITH_ZLIB functionality. Thanks to Nikolai Kostrigin for the contribution. (Bug #111549, Bug #35534309)
- Building with WITH_PROTOBUF=system failed with Protobuf 22 or newer due to Protobuf 22 adding the Abseil dependency. (Bug #111469, Bug #111623, Bug #35546459, Bug #35550389)
- Building with WITH_ZLIB="system" would break the MySQL build as it failed to find ZLIB. Thanks to Amazon for the contribution. (Bug #111467, Bug #35511210) References: This issue is a regression of: Bug #35057542.
- On EL7 aarch64-based platforms, fixed an issue related to how fetching the CPU cache line size returned 0 that caused the MySQL server to unexpectedly halt. (Bug #110752, Bug #35479763) References: See also: Bug #107081, Bug #34095278.
- The C++ Standardization Committee's Library Working Group recently resolved an issue (LWG-3865 Sorting a range of pairs) which changes how the comparison operators are defined for std::pair. This fix updates the equality operator used in two files in sql/auth to align with this change. Based on a suggestion by the Microsoft Visual Studio team. (Bug #110254, Bug #35137978)

Version: 8.0.12
New version 8.0.13. This version requires system 10.13 or 10.14. The intermediate versions of the version, required 10.12. The previous versions of 8 (8.0.0 dmr)accepted 10.11 but I think they withdrew the support before the initial final version.
Browsing your website, I only see the final version (not beta or prior) compatible with 10.11 version 5.7.16. In MU, they offer 5.7.17 as compatible, but the MySQL site mentions only 10.12. Are versions of 10.12 compatible with 10.11? Can I then use version 5.7.20?
Why do not they already offer support for 10.11 with security updates for some previous version? It was not my favorite, because it needs a lot of previous study to use. But the price of FileMaker, and its obsolescence made me consider this option. I see that there is no other solution to pay, and stay updated forever. With new computer as the Apple gurus send, every 9 months :-)

Version: 5.7.20
I have a small library card catalogue archive for which I'm going to build a database. Each card might have 3 separate entries on it...probably a total of around 14,000 cards. Will MySQL work for me?

Why o why does MacUpdate track Unix software in the main Mac software channel? Just a suggestion, but i would prefer it if you had a separate tab/category for server software, daemons, CLI utilities and the like. That way, the 90% who don't use it won't have to contend with the added entries on the tracker. (I do personally use a lot of server-oriented software and CLI tools, so i would personally check that category for updates. But my preference would be to separate them out to another category listing.)

Version: 5.1.60
The MU download only provides some 0.5kb (!) tar.gz file, and the developer link only leads to some fairly small-sized search engine code. However, the below link seems to provide the full-on file in several formats for OS 10.6:
