Hello everyone, In our WildFly based application, we are using mariadb-10.5.8 with mysql-connector as the driver. From the compatibility matrix, it appears that mariadb-10.2 and later are compatible with mysql-5.7 ORM we use is hibernate-6.2 and the documentation says MySQL-5.7 or higher and MariaDB-10.3 or higher are supported with out-of-box dialects. . So the mariadb we use should be compliant to hibernate-6 if we go by mariadb version or corresponding mysql version. However, when we start our app, we get a WARNING message - "HHH000511: The 5.5.0 version for [org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect] is no longer supported" When we look at the connection meta-data returned from DB, it returns "MySQL" as the product-name and "5.5.5-10.5.8-MariaDB" as the product version. That seems to be the reason, hibernate is complaining. But if we connect with the mariadb-driver, it return "MariaDB" as the product name and "10.5.8-MariaDB" as the version. - What does the 5.5.0 prefix signify in the version? Is it the compatible MySQL version? If so, why its not 5.7 as it appears from documentation that versions above mariadb-10.2 are compatible with mysql-5.7? - Is this WARNING a problem that warrant a DB migration or is there a community supported dialect as explained here - https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/6.2/migration-guide/migration-guide.htm... -Rajesh
