Any plan for AliSQL based on MySQL 8.4?

[scott-wong]

Hi team,

Thanks for releasing the AliSQL version based on MySQL 8.0.44 with DuckDB support — great work!

Since the official support lifecycle of MySQL 8.0 is approaching its end, we are wondering:

• Is there any plan to release an AliSQL version based on MySQL 8.4 (or newer)?
• If so, do you have an approximate timeline or roadmap?

It would be helpful for us to plan future upgrades accordingly.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, @scott-wong
Work on MySQL 8.4 support is currently in progress. Our open-source releases usually lag behind our commercial releases(aliyun RDS MySQL) (the commercial version is expected to be available around April), so the open-source release for 8.4 will likely come after that date. Key features are listed in the README of the current repository. Once 8.4 is open-sourced, the functionality I plan to support will include full parity with MySQL 8.0 capabilities.

Thanks for your interest. :)
