A PR in response to #32681.
When working with managed MySQL servers from Azure there's quite a peculiar catch: the database servers are behind a proxy and these don't know in advance which version you're connecting to while handshaking.
As a consequence
$connection->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_SERVER_VERSION)
will always yield5.6.42.0
regardless of the actual MySQL version (like 8.0.x!), and Laravel is unable to set the correct modes.Since there's no way to circumvent the spoofed server version, a simple
version
config -if present- seemed like the cleanest approach to me.
