Hi,
how to learn MySQL version that I use? (asking to use the specific documentation of the related version of mysql)

The query “select version()” says “10.6.19-MariaDB” interestingly. (Am I using mariaDB, I am confused! after seeing this output from the system)

phpinfo(); is also limited , just says php version.

May you help please? Thanks.

As you see free hosting uses MariaDB 10.6.

Of course you won’t find MySQL version info on MariaDB.
That is to say, MariaDB 10.6 is (mostly) feature equivlant to MySQL 8.0.

Hi @Frank419, Thanks for your response however I am totally confused.

A few minutes ago: I intentionally wrote an incorrect SQL command then clicked the link ( MySQL said: link) in the error message.

It opened the official MySQL 5.7 documentation.

As I had told you free hosting runs on MariaDB 10.6 which is feature equivlant to MySQL 8.0.

MariaDB is a fork of MySQL starting from all the way back when MySQL was acquired by Oracle in 2010, it’s entirely possible that in later development something was not updated; it’s also possible that something on the server is not configured properly as the database server here was once MySQL 5.7.
