Replace mysql 8.0 with percona 8.0

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Server for MySQL 8.0
1

Hi there,

My server is on mysql Ver 8.0.40-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu)) now, what’s the safest (hopefully fully automated) route to upgrade to percona 8.0?

Thanks

Hi Shawn_X,

Percona Server (PS) is a drop in replacement for upstream MySQL.

This means that you can switch binaries back and forth between MySQL and PS.

Considering that MySQL/PS 8.0 does not allow for version downgrade, the best is to keep the same version (8.0.40).
Steps for installing PS are here: Upgrade Percona Distribution for MySQL - Percona Distribution for MySQL
