> 04_and_MySQL_5.7

On Ubuntu 16.04 (and others recent distro) now (Nov. 2016) is present MySQL 5.7. All version of Koha (3.x, 16.05, 16.11) are not compatible with default config of MySQL 5.7. To bypasss the problem you can:

    Install MariaDB instead of MySQL [ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server]
    OR Insert in your /etc/mysql/my.conf: 

[mysqld]
sql_mode=IGNORE_SPACE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

After save the changes and restart mysql.
Comment 7 Jonathan Druart 2018-02-06 19:11:34 UTC
Since MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.2.4, the default value for SQL modes is

MySQL: 
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

MariaDB:
NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO

Comment 9 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-05-21 22:40:30 UTC
Should this bug be renamed to "MariaDB 10.2 and MySQL 5.7" ?
IIUC most of the related bugs are for these two versions.

Until finding this and comment 7. I had the impression that only MySQL 5.7 had these big breaking changes.

Good question!

It looks like both MariaDB 10.1 and 10.2 are based off MySQL 5.7. 

It might make sense to leave it as MySQL 5.7 with the onus being on users of MariaDB to figure out their MySQL compatibility.

I can't find much info about equivalence of versions that tell this [1], it seems a bit hard to figure that out. It's likely to also be interpreted as MySQL only compat issues, since the two DBMSs tend to fork more and more.

Regardless of the name of this ticket that is only about one or two versions, does anyone has resources about version equivalence in general? That will come handy to watch in the future.

    Ok for 10.2, as for 10.1 maybe we can deduct from the fact that 10.1 was release during the dev cycle of MySQL 5.7. Use of confirmation bias needed ^^"
