  63 == Compatibility ==
  64 MediaWiki 1.33 requires PHP 7.0.0 or later. Although HHVM 3.18.5 or later is
  65 supported, it is generally advised to use PHP 7.0.0 or later for long term
  66 support.
  67
  68 MySQL/MariaDB is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used,
  69 but support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
  70 Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
  71
  72 The supported versions are:
  73
  74 * MySQL 5.5.8 or later
  75 * PostgreSQL 9.2 or later
  76 * SQLite 3.3.7 or later
  77 * Oracle 9.0.1 or later
  78 * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)

  80 == Upgrading ==
  81 1.33 has several database changes since 1.32, and will not work without schema
  82 updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
  83 table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
  84 many hours on a large site).
  85
  86 Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
  87
  88 See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions, including
  89 important information when upgrading from versions prior to 1.11.
