Hi there.
Is it straight forward to upgrade MariaDB from 10.1 which I currenty have, to 10.3 (which is the latest version on Software Collections).

Can somebody point me in the right place to do so?

Thanks,
Craig

Which operating system are you on?

As per another topic I raised this morning, my hand was forced.

I removed mariadb101 and then installed maria103, i’ve got it working and had to restore db backups, as they all disappeared.

For future info, when i upgrade to a new maria db version, is there a way of doing it where the existing databases are kept?

I use yum remove rh-mariadb101*

And then yum install rh-mariadb103

Thanks in advance,
Craig

Hey,

This tutorial works flawlessly for me on CentOS 7: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-103-to-mariadb-104/

It’s pretty much the same process for upgrading any version of MariaDB.

Thanks for the reply.

I think the only thing I didn’t do was run the upgrade.

Would that have stopped my dbs from displaying once I started the service?
