Hi,

what is the latest version of MySQL that JamfPRO supports on macOSX?
Are there plans to support MySQL v8x?

@retroroscoe I don't have answers to your questions as a lot of people can make it work, I can only share what I've experienced.

Mysql stopped working for us at 5.7 on our 10.12/Sierra Server.

we weren't the only ones (Like i said, you can make it work)

We moved our MySQL DB to a RHEL box and left tomcat / repository on the MacServer.

HUGE HUGE HUGE Improvement in performance. I suggest getting away from MySQL on the Mac.

Yes, funny enough I had to rollback to 10.12.6 and MySQL 5.6x and it runs pretty sweet.
Was just wondering if any improvements had been made.
