I only just realised that the Siteground version of MySQL isn't compatible with Joomla 5 just before Christmas. I spoke to their tech support and they weren't able to advise when they were likely to upgrade but they did say I can use Postgresql as alternative, as a couple of others have mentioned. I tried a test install to see how I found it, but soon realised it was a non-starter because none of the Akeeba applications support Postgresql and I am very reliant on Backup and Admintools, as I suspect a lot of others are - more info on the Akeeba forum https://www.akeeba.com/support/akeeba-b ... kflow.html
Annoyingly I signed up to Siteground for 2 years in advance in September, so changing host for my Joomla sites would be costly, not to mention being a major pain in the rear. We have a reasonable amount of time while J4 is still supported, so there's no immediate urgency to get this sorted out, but I am going to have to rethink my strategy if nothing seems to have happened by the time we get to summer.
