Breaking: #102518 - Database engine version requirements

See forge#102518 and forge#102594

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

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

Affected installations

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

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.
