AnalyticDB:Update the minor version of a cluster

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

Minor version updates for AnalyticDB for MySQL clusters deliver bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features. This topic explains how to check your current minor version and update it through the console.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

Potential impacts

The impact varies by cluster edition.

EditionImpact during update
Enterprise Edition, Data Lakehouse Edition, Data Warehouse Edition (elastic mode – Cluster Edition), Data Warehouse Edition (reserved mode)Control operations and INSERT OVERWRITE statements are blocked.
Data Warehouse Edition (elastic mode – Standalone Edition)All read, write, and control operations are blocked. The cluster remains in the unavailable state.

All editions: Transient connections may occur within seconds during the update. Schedule updates during off-peak hours and configure your application to automatically reconnect to the cluster.

Update duration

A minor version update takes approximately 30 minutes.

Check the current minor version

Check in the console

  1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console. In the upper-left corner, select a region. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

  2. On the Clusters page, click an edition tab, find the cluster, and click the cluster ID.

  3. On the Cluster Information page, go to the Configuration Information section and find the Current Minor Version parameter.

Check by running an SQL statement

  1. Open the SQL editor for your cluster:

    • Enterprise Edition, Basic Edition, Data Lakehouse Edition: In the left-side navigation pane, choose Job Development > SQL Development.

    • Data Warehouse Edition: Connect to the cluster.

  2. Run the following SQL statement:

    SELECT adb_version();

    The source_version column in the output shows the minor version number:

    +----------------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+---------------------+
    | source_version | rpm_version    | build_date          | revision_id | revision_date       |
    +----------------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+---------------------+
    | 3.1.10.3       | 20240308165905 | 2024-03-08 16:59:05 | 1b60f22     | 2024-03-08 16:45:09 |
    +----------------+----------------+---------------------+-------------+---------------------+

Update the minor version

  1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for MySQL console. In the upper-left corner, select a region. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

  3. On the Cluster Information page, go to the Configuration Information section and click Update Version next to the Current Minor Version parameter.

    Note
