Upgrading an RPM installation

If you have an existing RPM installation of MySQL Foreign Data Wrapper, you can use yum or dnf to upgrade your repository configuration file and upgrade to a more recent product version. yum or dnf will update the edb.repo file to enable access to the current EDB repository, configured to connect with the credentials specified in your edb.repo file. Then, you can use yum or dnf to upgrade any installed packages:

  • For MySQL 8:

    • On RHEL or CentOS 7:
      sudo yum -y upgrade edb-as<xx>-mysql8_fdw* mysql-community-devel
    • On RHEL or Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux 8:
      sudo dnf -y upgrade edb-as<xx>-mysql8_fdw* mysql-community-devel

  • For MySQL 5 on RHEL or CentOS 7:

    sudo yum -y upgrade edb-as<xx>-mysql5_fdw* mysql-community-devel

Upgrading MySQL Foreign Data Wrapper on a Debian or Ubuntu host

In the previously released version of MySQL FDW, the package name for MySQL FDW was edb-as*-mysql-fdw. In the current release, two separate packages have been made available for MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 i.e edb-as*-mysql5-fdw and edb-as*-mysql8-fdw Respectively.

If you are upgrading from MySQL FDW 2.5.5 to 2.6.0 for MySQL 5, then installation of edb-as*mysql5-fdw package for version 2.6.0 will automatically remove the previously installed package edb-as*-mysql-fdw.

If you are upgrading from MySQL FDW 2.5.5 to 2.6.0 for MySQL 8, then before installing the edb-as*-mysql8-fdw package for version 2.6.0, you need to manually remove the following packages:

  • default-mysqlclient-dev
  • edb-as*-mysql-fdw

Use the following command to upgrade the FDW installation:

  • For MySQL 8: 
    apt-get upgrade edb-as<xx>-mysql8-fdw*
  • For MySQL 5:
    apt-get upgrade edb-as<xx>-mysql5-fdw*
    where xx is the server version number.
