What’s new in MySQL 9.0
Oracle celebrated the beginning of July with the general availability of three releases of its open source database, MySQL: MySQL 8.0.38, the first update of its long-term support (LTS) version, MySQL 8.4, and the first major version of its 9.x innovation release, MySQL 9.0.
While the v8 releases are bug fixes and security releases only, MySQL 9.0 Innovation is a shiny new version with additional features, as well as some changes that may require attention when upgrading from a previous version.
The new 9.0 versions of MySQL Clients, Tools, and Connectors are also live, and Oracle recommends that they be used with MySQL Server 8.0, and 8.4 LTS as well as with 9.0 Innovation.
New features in MySQL 9.0.0:-
This initial 9.x Innovation release, Oracle says, is preparation for new features in upcoming releases. But it still contains useful things and can be upgraded to from MySQL 8.4 LTS; the MySQL Configurator automatically does the upgrade without user intervention during MSI installations on Windows.
The major changes include:
- A new Vector datatype is supported in CREATE and ALTER statements.
- JavaScript Stored Programs, which support JavaScript-based stored programs and functions, has come to MySQL Enterprise Edition. JavaScript Stored Programs can call SQL, and SQL can call them.
- MySQL 9.0 Innovation has moved to newer versions of libraries and compilers: Linux 8 and 9 on GCC13, and Boost 1.85.
- In the Event Scheduler, users can now prepare SQL statements CREATE EVENT, ALTER EVENT, and DROP EVENT.
