Database versions and version policies

This page describes Cloud SQL's database version support policies.

Database versions supported by Cloud SQL

The database engines supported by Cloud SQL include multiple versions. The versions can vary in capabilities and in the types of issues that arise. While performing an upgrade can impact your users, providing up-to-date database features and important patches is also critical. Cloud SQL keeps your instances up-to-date with patches and minor version updates automatically.
