Too many old products can’t connect to new MySQL8. All recommendations or rewrite old product, or change MySQL server settings like this:
[client]
default-character-set=utf8
[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8
[mysqld]
skip-character-set-client-handshake
character-set-client-handshake = 0
collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci
character-set-server = utf8
default_authentication_plugin = mysql_native_password
But how to do it in Managed MySQL? Also “SET GLOBAL” way currently not available.

Is there any resolution for this. I have followed your instructions above and it fails either way.
The mysql managed DB is useless to me if we can’t connect to it with PHP.
I can’t use database Mysql DO becouse error.
Any solutions ?
other than this.
[client] default-character-set = utf8
[mysql] default-character-set = utf8
[mysqld] character-set-server = utf8 collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
