mysql 8 - michaelh613 - 02-12-2019
Upgrading our systems to code igniter 3. First we want to roll out the db upgrade to mysql 8 and CI 2 gives an error Server sent charset unknown to the client. It seems not to occur in CI 3. Any idea if its possible to run MySQL 8 in CI 2?

@michaelh613,
CI2 is no longer maintained therefore if MySQL8 doesn't work with it now it never will (unless you go under the hood and fix it yourself which I don't recommend). I would upgrade to CI3 and move forward from there.
