Latest nightly 18.3.34 is ok
Latest nightly 18.4 (same night) results in corrupted DB:

MySQL v5.5
Are we still on v5.5? I've seen some posts talking about v8.0.

Looks like you need to reinstall the Open Dental v18.4 or try from a different computer. I double checked that v18.4.4 can successfully upgrade a database. If you continuously get this error, please call in to support and we'll troubleshoot or get a copy of your database for closer inspection.

If by "we" you mean Open Dental then yes. Open Dental is still officially using MySQL v5.5.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

The current MySQL connector (OD 18.3 or less) is version 6.3.7 (as noted in the Downloads section)
OD 18.4 now requires MySQL connector version 8.0.11. Hence the above error.
Thanks.

Has this been fixed? I don't want to upgrade until it's fixed.

This is not an actual bug. The original poster probably installed Open Dental incorrectly on a computer.

No, not a bug. I was playing with the source code. In order to compile OD18.4 correctly, one needs to update the MySQL Connector to 8.0.11. Thread probably should be moved to the Developer section.
