OLConnect 2020.1 Enhancements
MySQL update and improvements
The database that comes bundled with OL Connect has been updated to the latest version of
MySQL (8.0.18), along with the drivers used to connect to it. (SHARED-63665/74191)
The new packaged database will only be installed with new installations. This is to avoid any
chance of issues that might occur in migrating an existing database to the new version. Existing
users who want to upgrade their packaged database, will have to start with a fresh database.

l Connect now supports connecting to existing MySQL version 8 databases for the
Connect back-end database. (SHARED-71285)

newer MySQL instances (v8.x). (SHARED-74623)
