• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Question Plesk 18.0.33 - How to get mySQL not MariaDB

TELLO0815

Basic Pleskian
Hi all,
i have on my Plesk 18.0.33 the "default" DB MariaDB.
I need to use mySQL. But what is the way to setup a mySQL database? I have only the MariaDB for new DB´s?

THX for help.
TELLO
 
Did you know MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL? Is there a specific reason you want to use MySQL?

Anyway, you could run MySQL in a docker container.

#docker run --name=mysql -v /root/MySQL/datadir:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Your-Password -p 127.0.0.1:3307:3306 "mysql:5.5.62"

Tools & Settings > Database Servers > Add Database Server

Host name or IP address - 127.0.0.1
Port - 3307
Username - root
Password - Your-Password
 
I know I know... Its just that my dev mamp pro works with mySQL. All the time when I migrate my db live I have the problems with json to longtext.
I would like to fix this for my project.
 
It's by far a better practice to have your development environment match your production rather than the other way around.
