| Title | Bugzilla integration doesn't check MySQL server version |

| Description | The P4DTI only works with particular versions of the MySQL database (later than 3.22.something, and not 3.23.29, see job000171). We only support some vesrions of MySQL (in the AG we say "3.22.19 or later but not 3.23.29"). However, we don't actually check the MySQL version at runtime. We could do something similar to our MySQLdb version checking (see job000413), i.e. check the MySQL version when we start up, and generate a suitable informative, warning, or error message. |
| Analysis | Given a MySQLdb object, we can ask it for the server version as an int or a string: >>> db._server_version 32232 >>> db._server_info '3.22.32-log' >>> db.db.get_server_info() '3.22.32-log' |
| How found | inspection |
| Evidence | I just know. |
| Observed in | 1.4.0 |
| Introduced in | 0.5.0 |
