Subj : Re: Non in-place upgrade of MySQL 5.7 to 8 To : MeaTLoTioN From : hyjinx Date : Mon Jul 19 2021 18:48:46 Thanks dude. Unfortunately that link is one of the many links I already read. The main problem is this bit: Me> Personally, I would recreate the dump without mysql schema. That's fine - but the main problem is how do I Migrate the users across? Dumping the databases sans the mysql database is easy enough, but I still need the user from mysql.users at the very least, right?
