Body: <p>I just changed my db server, and I managed to import a db dump to the new system.
  What troubles me is that, once done, I noticed I have now MySQL 5.7.32, while the previous database server was 5.6.48.</p>
  <p>I checked the project from the browser and so far it seems to work as expected, without errors.</p>
  <p>Should I care about this? Was I supposed to somehow migrate the dump before actually load it?
  I searched Craft CMS docs but I did not find any detail on this.</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
