During 8.0 development cycle none of the client protocol changes has been made. You can use for example ODBC connector compiled on top of 5.7 header files land linked with 5.7 or MariaDB client libraries with MySQL 8.0 server and it will be no problem as long as for example you database scheme stored in MySQL engine will be not using for example group or function keywords in names of tables or rows. In other words: from ABI point of view nothing needs to be coordinated here. kloczek -- Tomasz Kłoczko | LinkedIn: http://lnkd.in/FXPWxH _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
