All - As noted in the MySQL release notes (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/en/news-8-3-0.html), version 8.3.x was released in 2024. Since then, MySQL Connector/J has advanced substantially and is now at version 9.x.
Given that 8.3 will reach EOL soon, what is our plan for upgrading the MySQL Java connector from 8.3.x to the latest 9.x?
Hi @zoidvs
this is a community forum where the maintainers of Keycloak barely read. To ask the question officially, you should go to the GitHub repo and ask this in a discussion thread.
From the things I know: Keycloak uses Quarkus for a lot of database stuff and relies therefore to the Quarkus distribution. Once it is added in Quarkus and Keycloak decides to use the proper Quarkus version, then it will be available in Keycloak.
In general, Keycloak supports a variety of database versions (see Configuring the database - Keycloak) and you shouldn’t feel the need to care about the driver versions itself.
