MySQL 8 and DW7.3 are not compatible.

Posted Thu, 16 Jul 2020 17:36:24 GMT by Jon Neff Kelley Imaging Solutions Engineer

After failing to install DW7.3 on MySQL 8, DW Support confirms,

"They are not compatible and it is not supported. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Requirement listing in the DW7.3 software package was apparently mistaken.Correct requirements appear to be at http://help.docuware.com/#/home/55049/2/2

UPDATE - DW Support now says

"The most recent version of MySQL 64-bit for DW7.3 on-premises is 5.6.25."

Hi Jon,

it has been some time for me using MySQL for DW, but I remember that my DW 7.0 ran fine on MySQL 5.7.21 some years ago.
