Upgrading from MariaDB 10.11 to MariaDB 11.0

This page includes details for upgrading from MariaDB 10.11 to MariaDB 11.0. It is currently incomplete. Note that MariaDB 10.11 is maintained for five years, while MariaDB 11.0 is a short-term maintenance release, only maintained for one year.

How to Upgrade

For Windows, see Upgrading MariaDB on Windows.

For MariaDB Galera Cluster, see Upgrading from MariaDB 10.6 to MariaDB 10.7 with Galera Cluster instead.

Before you upgrade, it would be best to take a backup of your database. This is always a good idea to do before an upgrade. We would recommend mariadb-backup.

The suggested upgrade procedure is:

1. Modify the repository configuration, so the system's package manager installs MariaDB 11.0. For example,

• On Debian, Ubuntu, and other similar Linux distributions, see Updating the MariaDB APT repository to a New Major Release for more information.

• On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and other similar Linux distributions, see Updating the MariaDB YUM repository to a New Major Release for more information.

• On SLES, OpenSUSE, and other similar Linux distributions, see Updating the MariaDB ZYpp repository to a New Major Release for more information.

1. Stop MariaDB.

2. Uninstall the old version of MariaDB.

• On Debian, Ubuntu, and other similar Linux distributions, execute the following:sudo apt-get remove mariadb-server

• On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and other similar Linux distributions, execute the following:sudo yum remove MariaDB-server

• On SLES, OpenSUSE, and other similar Linux distributions, execute the following:sudo zypper remove MariaDB-server

1. Install the new version of MariaDB.

• On Debian, Ubuntu, and other similar Linux distributions, see Installing MariaDB Packages with APT for more information.

• On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and other similar Linux distributions, see Installing MariaDB Packages with YUM for more information.

• On SLES, OpenSUSE, and other similar Linux distributions, see Installing MariaDB Packages with ZYpp for more information.

1. Make any desired changes to configuration options in option files, such as my.cnf. This includes removing any options that are no longer supported.

2. Start MariaDB.

3. Run mariadb-upgrade.

• mariadb-upgrade does two things:

  1. Ensures that the system tables in the mysql database are fully compatible with the new version.

  2. Does a very quick check of all tables and marks them as compatible with the new version of MariaDB .

Incompatible Changes Between 10.11 and 11.0

On most servers upgrading from 10.11 should be painless. However, there are some things that have changed which could affect an upgrade:

Options That Have Changed Default Values

Option	Old default	New default
Option	Old default	New default
innodb_undo_tablespaces	0	3
histogram_type	DOUBLE_PREC_HB	JSON_HB

Options That Have Been Removed or Renamed

The following options should be removed or renamed if you use them in your option files:

Option	Reason
Option	Reason
innodb_change_buffer_max_size	InnoDB Change Buffer removed
innodb_change_buffering	InnoDB Change Buffer removed

Deprecated Options

The following options have been deprecated. They have not yet been removed, but will be in a future version, and should ideally no longer be used.

Option	Reason
Option	Reason
innodb_defragment	InnoDB Defragmentation is not particularly useful and causes a maintenance burden.
innodb_defragment_n_pages
innodb_defragment_stats_accuracy
innodb_defragment_fill_factor_n_recs
innodb_defragment_fill_factor
innodb_defragment_frequency
innodb_file_per_table
innodb_flush_method
innodb_file_per_table	Has been set for many releases. Unsetting (the original InnoDB default) is no longer useful
innodb_flush_method	Mapped it to 4 new boolean parameters that can be changed while the server is running
log_slow_admin_statements	Use log_slow_filter without admin
