Azure Database for MariaDB is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you migrate to Azure Database for MySQL. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for MySQL, see What's happening to Azure Database for MariaDB?.
Azure Database for MariaDB has been developed from the open-source MariaDB Server, using the InnoDB engine.
MariaDB uses the X.Y.Z naming scheme. X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z is the patch version.
Note
In the service, a gateway is used to redirect the connections to server instances. After the connection is established, the MySQL client displays the version of MariaDB set in the gateway, not the actual version running on your MariaDB server instance. To determine the version of your MariaDB server instance, use the SELECT VERSION();
command.
Azure Database for MariaDB currently supports the following version:
Patch version: 10.2.32
Refer to the MariaDB documentation to learn more about improvements and fixes in this version.
Patch version: 10.3.23
Refer to the MariaDB documentation to learn more about improvements and fixes in this version.
The community support for MariaDB version 10.3 is ending on 25 May 2023. To avoid any disruption, we're extending the support for MariaDB version 10.3 on Azure Database for MariaDB until September 2025 to ensure business continuity. The extended support for MariaDB v10.3 includes:
There won't be any new minor version releases, new engine features, or fixes in Azure Database for MariaDB that don't pertain to the server availability or security, after 25 May 2023.
The service automatically manages upgrades for patch updates. For example, 10.2.21 to 10.2.23.
Currently, minor and major version upgrades aren't supported. For example, upgrading from MariaDB 10.2 to MariaDB 10.3 isn't supported. If you'd like to upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3, take a dump and restore it to a server that was created with the new engine version.
