how to solve django.db.utils.NotSupportedError in django

I got an error while running the project in Django. the thing is that unfortunately i upgraded my pip , MySQL client and Django versions

this is the error while running python manage.py run server

in check_database_version_supported
raise NotSupportedError(
django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: MariaDB 10.3 or later is required (found 10.1.19).

Solution

You have a MariaDB-10.1.19 client installed to MySQL server, and your application found that 10.1.19. As in the error you need to have MariaDB 10.3 or later. You can upgrade MariaDB as

First stop the xampp server completely.
Then go to MariaDB download page and download the zip file of latest stable version
extract the file, and rename the folder from mariadb-10.x.x to mysql
Then in your C: drive go to xampp directory and change the mysql folder name to mysql_old
Then copy the extracted folder to xampp directory.
Then go to mysql_old directory and copy backups folder, scripts folder, mysqlinstallservice file, mysqluninstallservice file and paste to mysql folder.
Then go to bin folder in mysql_old and copy my file to bin folder in mysql folder.
Then edit my file in mysql and add skip-grant-tables in line before #skip-federated, also delete this line innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M, then save the file.
Then in bin folder open mysql_upgrade and run it.
After ran succesfully, rename data folder as data_new in mysql folder, then copy data folder from mysql_old folder to mysql folder.
Now run xampp control panel and start apache server and mysql.

Now MariaDB is updated and issue will be solved.
