Changes in MySQL 8.0.13 (2018-10-22, General Availability)
-
...
-
InnoDB: Support for
TABLESPACE = innodb_file_per_table
andTABLESPACE = innodb_temporary
clauses withCREATE TEMPORARY TABLE
is deprecated and will be removed in a future MySQL version. -
The
utf8mb3
character set is deprecated and will be removed in a future MySQL version. Please useutf8mb4
instead.
-
Incompatible Change: The deprecated
ASC
orDESC
qualifiers forGROUP BY
clauses have been removed. Queries that previously relied onGROUP BY
sorting may produce results that differ from previous MySQL versions. To produce a given sort order, provide anORDER BY
clause.Queries and stored program definitions from MySQL 8.0.12 or lower that use
ASC
orDESC
qualifiers forGROUP BY
clauses should be amended. Otherwise, upgrading to MySQL 8.0.13 or higher may fail, as may replicating to MySQL 8.0.13 or higher slave servers.
-
Important Change: Setting user variables in statements other than
SET
is now deprecated due to issues that included those listed here:-
The order of evaluation for expressions involving user variables was undefined.
-
The default result type of a variable is based on its type at the beginning of the statement, which could have unintended effects when a variable holding a value of one type at the beginning of a statement was assigned a new value of a different type in the same statement.
-
HAVING
,GROUP BY
, andORDER BY
clauses, when referring to a variable that was assigned a value in the select expression list, did not work as expected because the expression was evaluated on the client and so it was possible for stale column values from a previous row to be used.
Syntax such as
SELECT @var, @var:=@var+1
is still accepted in MySQL 8.0 for backward compatibility, but is subject to removal in a future MySQL version. -
