Will this fail safely for all versions of MySQL prior to 8 or should we check the version and only execute on version 8+?

Yes, it will fail safely for versions before MySQL 8.0. This is because this function uses SHOW VARIABLES LIKE statement. Executing this statement in versions before MySQL 8 is equivalent to searching a system variable that does not exist, and it will only return empty result rather than error.

Furthermore, tests of 5.6.51, 5.7.36 and 8.0.27 have already passed locally.

opt := "information_schema_stats_expiry"
res := db.QueryRowContext(ctx, "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%"+opt+"%'")
var none, expiry string
err := res.Scan(&none, &expiry)

nit: Can you inline this with the check on err like this: if err := res.Scan...; err != nil { ...?

Is it possible to Scan expiry directly into an int or will that fail if it's unset?
(Would changing the query to SELECT FROM @@SESSION.information_schema_stats_expiry help if so?)

Thanks very much for your reminding. Indeed, “expiry” should be scanned into int type.

When this variable does not exist (versions before MySQL 8.0), SELECT @@SESSION.information_schema_stats_expiry statement will return error instead of empty resultset.

if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, sql.ErrNoRows) {
return nil
}

return fmt.Errorf("Failed to get variable %q: %v", opt, err)
