Cloud SQL for MySQL 9.7 is generally available (GA).

For more information about the differences between MySQL 9.7 and previous versions, review the MySQL 9.7 Release Notes.

By default, if you specify MySQL 9.7 as the version when you create a Cloud SQL instance (either primary or replica) using the gcloud CLI, the Google Cloud console, or the REST API, then the Cloud SQL edition is Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition.

This release introduces support for key MySQL 9.7 capabilities, including:

• Vector search: support for the community-standard vector storage format combined with advanced approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) vector indexing in Cloud SQL. • Hypergraph optimizer: an alternative join-planning framework designed for complex, multi-table queries. You can enable the hypergraph optimizer using an optimizer switch. • JSON Duality Views: a feature that bridges relational SQL and hierarchical JSON document models to interact with the same underlying data. • Upgrade and migration paths: support for in-place major version upgrade from Cloud SQL for MySQL 8.4 and migrations from MySQL 8.4 using the Database Migration Service (DMS).
