We will be upgrading the MySQL version on the Viper server from MySQL 5.6 to MySQL 5.7 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.
