In the help, I can find this note:
For DataMiner versions up to DataMiner 9.6.5, MySQL versions 4.1.1 to 5.7 are supported (using connector version 5.2.7). From DataMiner 9.6.5 onwards, versions up to 8.0 (8.0 not included) are supported (using connector version 6.9.12).
I would want to use a MySQL 8 DB or a MariaDB as my offload DB, but that would require an updated MySQL connector version.
Is there any way I can use these DBs?
Are there any plans to update the used connector?
Unfortunately it is not possible at the moment
I would suggest to make a feature request on: DataMiner Feature Suggestions - DataMiner Dojo, in case many people still require this we can still add it to our roadmap
