# Breaking: #102518 - Database engine version requirements {#breaking-102518-1701035329}

See [forge#102518](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/102518) and [forge#102594](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/102594)

## Description {#description}

TYPO3 v13 supports these database products and versions:

-   MySQL 8.0.17 or higher
-   MariaDB 10.4.3 or higher
-   PostgresSQL 10.0 or higher
-   SQLite 3.8.3 or higher

## Impact {#impact}

Environments with older MariaDB or MySQL database engines will report an unsupported
database version and stop working properly with the upcoming Doctrine DBAL v4 upgrade.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

Hosting a TYPO3 instance based on version 13 may require an update of the MariaDB or
MySQL database engine.

## Migration {#migration}

TYPO3 v12 supports MariaDB 10.4.3 or MySQL 8.0.17 and higher database engines required by v13.
This allows upgrading the platform in a first step and upgrading to TYPO3 v13 in a second step.
