Question
Can I convert MariaDB 10.3 to MySQL 8?
Answer
At this time, through cPanel & WHM's MySQL or MariaDB Upgrade, there is no current method in which we support converting from MariaDB 10.X to MySQL 8. The system considers MariaDB to be an upgrade from MySQL. If you change the database engine to MariaDB, you cannot change back to MySQL.
