OpenCart Community

So, have been running website on OC v 2.3.0.2 for several years. My host has just informed me that they are about to change MySQL version from 5.7 to 8.00

Is this likely to cause any issues ? Anything need to be changed. Simple terms please, I am not an expert!

Thanks in advance, guys.

You need to update your Installation, to make it work with PHP v.8.x:

Thanks, IP_CAM ,
The question is about MySQL v8.00 - are you saying that OC 2.3.0.2 needs to be upgraded to PHP 8 as well, to run with MySQL 8?

Read again, more carefully this time, as this is about MySQL not PHP

It should be fine unless any of your extensions use deprecated MySQL features, which is relatively unlikely. How dates are handled is a bit different in some queries etc. but the fixes are generally not too hard if that is a problem.

Many thanks Paul,
