installing the latest MySQL security update on macOS 10.12 Sierra - mysql

We're still running MySQL (community server) on macOS 10.12 Sierra (because Apple has gutted later versions of macOS and macOS Server and we don't want to go there just yet). It appears the latest MySQL security updates (October 2018) no longer support macOS with the 5.6.x track. The 5.7.x and 8.x tracks now only list installers for 10.13 High Sierra and 10.14 Mojave.
So, the question is: can you install the latest MySQL 5.7.24 on macOS 10.12 Sierra and will it run without problems?
I'm okay if it's simply "unsupported" and will install but if it specifically won't install/will cause problems I would like to know before upgrading. I've searched the MySQL web site for information on this but there is nothing.
I asked this question on the MySQL forums and got no response. Hope someone here can help.

I am using MySQL in my python 2.7 project.
I have created a database and tables on a windows 7 professional operating system (64-bit).
I want to see the data that is stored in the database's tables, using MySQL Workbench. The problem is I am getting the following message:
What should I do to solve this problem?
I know there is a MySQL archive from which I can download earlier versions of the workbench, but I don't know what version is suitable for my operating system. Does anybody know?
link to the archive -

Thanks.

I'm successfully using MySQL Workbench version 8.0.12 on Windows 7.
(Apparently this was the latest supported version and it doesn't have the compatibility warning.)
Please download a lower version of Mysql Workbench(in archives section on download page). This solved my problem.

Upgrade MAMP MySQL to 5.7 on Windows

I'm using MAMP PRO 3.2.2 for Windows and need to upgrade the current MySQL version (5.5) to 5.7. Is there a way to do this in Windows?
Unfortunately it appears the only solution is updating MAMP. Which is a problem for me because the newest MAMP appears unstable (shutting servers on and off causes overlapping ports). I wish there was as I prefer MAMP 3.3.1.

Is Clang-3.3 not available for Sierra and future releases?

I have tried to upgrade my macports after upgrading my iMac to Sierra. When Clang-3.3 was encountered, port upgrade gave the message:
llvm-3.3 is not supported on macOS Sierra or newer
and stopped further upgrade process.
Had Macports stopped producing Clang-3.3 (and its dependents) for Sierra?
From this ticket, and the Portfiles of llvm-3.6 and earlier, I would conclude that you'll need at least llvm-3.7 if you want it to install on Sierra.

Uninstall specific version of mysql OSX

I installed mysql using .dmg, and then I realized I already have mysql installed. Now I have two versions, and I would like to keep the one that was shipped with OSX.
Is there a way to do it and how?

Mysql Command line not working on mac

When I try to access mysql command line on my mac it gives me this error - it doesn't matter what mysql command, username, password, server or I use either:
Launch of "mysql" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported.
This happened right after I installed Mac OS X lion. I am using MAMP Pro - I am upgraded to the latest version: 2.0.3- as my stack and I was wondering if anyone had any solutions for me. This is kind of a priority since I need it to handle large mysql imports.
BTW, I don't have a powerpc. I have intel core duo 2.66ghz
Try downloading and reinstalling MySQL from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/. Depending on your machine, you'll want to either grab the Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit) or Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 32-bit) version.
Maybe you should install another version of mysql or you can install xampp at
