We will be starting to upgrade MySQL on our servers to bring it into line with the current latest version of MySQL version 5.7.

This phased installation will commence on Tuesday 9th February 2020 at 23:00 GMT.

Your MySQL databases may be unavailable for up to 15 minutes while the  upgrade takes place so your web-sites may show database connection  errors during this time.

Strict Mode will be disabled, this means that code which isn’t designed  for MySQL 5.7 should continue to work correctly so shouldn’t need to  make any changes.

If you have any queries about this upgrade please let us know.
