When I am trying to deploy a MySQL database it automatically spawns latest version 9. However I want to use mysql8.4 and I tried to change the version after it is created, but get an error that downgrading to a major version is not allowed.

Please help as to how can I achieve this

It is not supported by MySQL because the data files for MySQL 9 are not compatible with MySQL 8.x.

You would need to wipe the volume to get a fresh install.

So first I create a DB with mysql9, then wipe the volume and then downgrade to mysql8.4, right ?

  1. Deploy MySQL

  2. Switch to 8.4

  3. Wipe the volume

The next deploy will be a working MySQL 8.4 deployment.
