Modify your SQL statement to exclude the feature causing the error.

1

Identify the feature mentioned in the error message. The error message typically indicates the specific feature (e.g., 'JSON functions', 'spatial indexing') that is not supported.

2

Examine your SQL query or DDL statement for any usage of that feature. For example, if the error mentions 'JSON functions' and you're using `JSON_EXTRACT`, you'll need to remove or rewrite that part.

SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(my_column, '$.key') FROM my_table;

3

Rewrite the SQL statement to achieve the desired outcome without using the unsupported feature. This might involve using alternative functions or a different approach.

SELECT my_column FROM my_table; -- If JSON_EXTRACT was not essential or can be handled differently

SELECT VERSION();

If your current version is below the required version, plan and execute an upgrade. This typically involves backing up your data, installing the new MySQL version, and performing the upgrade process as per the official MySQL documentation.

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-8.0.xx.tar.gz
tar xvf mysql-8.0.xx.tar.gz
cd mysql-8.0.xx

3

Configure the build process, ensuring the necessary feature is enabled. For example, if the feature requires a specific plugin or component, you might need to include it during configuration.

./configure --enable-feature-x --with-plugin-y ...
