Incompatible/nonstandard server version or connection protocol detected
I'm getting message connection warning message when I try to connect MySQL Server.
A connection to this database can be established but some MySQL Workbench features may not work properly since the database is not fully compatible with the supported versions of MySQL.
MySQL Workbench is developed and tested for MySQL Server versions 5.6, 5.7 and 8.0.
For MySQL Server older than 5.6, please use MySQL Workbench version 6.3.
How do I fix this issue or should I continue anyway?

Hi Anas!
Thanks for reaching out.
The warning message you're seeing in MySQL Workbench suggests that you're trying to connect to a version of MySQL Server that is not fully compatible with the version of Workbench you're using. Here's how to handle this:
1) Continue Anyway: If the MySQL Server version you're using is not one of the fully supported versions (5.6, 5.7, or 8.0), but it's still relatively close, you might choose to click "Continue Anyway". Many features of Workbench should still work, but you might encounter some issues or limitations with specific features.
2) Upgrade or Downgrade MySQL Server: To ensure full compatibility, consider upgrading or downgrading your MySQL Server to one of the versions explicitly supported by your version of Workbench. This might be more relevant if you're working on a critical project where stability and full feature support are necessary.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Tsvetelin
