+# MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 Migration Guide
+
+## Background
+
+### The Challenge
+
+MySQL 5.7 End of Life (EOL) is approaching in October 2023, and organizations must upgrade to MySQL 8.0 to continue receiving security updates and leverage new features. Migrating production databases involves complex considerations including schema compatibility, character set changes, authentication plugin updates, and ensuring data integrity during the migration process.
+
+### The Solution
+
+This guide provides comprehensive, production-tested instructions for migrating MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 on Alauda Container Platform (ACP). The solution uses mysqldump-based migration with comprehensive validation:
+
+- **Proven Approach**: Tested and verified in production Kubernetes environments with PXC 5.7.44 and MGR 8.0.44
+- **Complete Object Coverage**: Migrates ALL standard MySQL objects (tables, views, routines, triggers, events, users, grants)
+- **Schema Compatibility**: Automated checks and fixes for MySQL 8.0 compatibility issues
+- **Comprehensive Verification**: 9-category object verification including view execution testing
+- **Minimal Risk**: Detailed rollback procedures and validation at each step
+
+## Environment Information
+
+Applicable Versions: >=ACP 4.2.0, MySQL Operator: >=4.2.0
+Source: Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) 5.7.44
+Target: MySQL Group Replication (MGR) 8.0.44
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Key Concepts
+- **Source Cluster**: Existing MySQL 5.7.44 PXC cluster to be migrated from
+- **Target Cluster**: New MySQL 8.0.44 MGR cluster to migrate to
+- **GTID**: Global Transaction Identifiers for transaction tracking
+- **Schema Compatibility**: MySQL 8.0 reserved keywords and syntax changes
+- **Character Set Migration**: Converting to utf8mb4 for full Unicode support
+- **DEFINER Privileges**: Security context for stored routines/views/events/triggers
+
+### Common Use Cases
+
+| Scenario | Database Size | Estimated Downtime | Section Reference |
+|----------|---------------|-------------------|------------------|
+| **Small Database** | < 10GB | 15-30 minutes | [Migration Procedure](#migration-procedure) |
+| **Medium Database** | 10-50GB | 30-60 minutes | [Migration Procedure](#migration-procedure) |
+| **Large Database** | 50-200GB | 1-2 hours | [Migration Procedure](#migration-procedure) |
+| **Schema Issues** | Any size | +1-2 hours for fixes | [Schema Compatibility](#schema-compatibility-analysis) |
+| **Character Set Migration** | Any size | +30-60 minutes | [Character Set Migration](#character-set-and-collation-analysis) |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before performing MySQL migration, ensure you have:
+
+- ACP v4.2.0 or later with MySQL Operator v4.2.0 or later
+- MySQL plugin deployed following the [installation guide](https://docs.alauda.io/mysql-mgr/4.2/installation.html)
+- Read the [Alauda MySQL MGR Documentation](https://docs.alauda.io/mysql-mgr/4.2/functions/01-create.html) to understand instance creation
+- **Source Cluster Requirements**:
+  - MySQL 5.7.44 PXC cluster in healthy state
+  - GTID mode enabled (`@@gtid_mode = ON`, `@@enforce_gtid_consistency = ON`)
+  - Sufficient disk space for dump files (temporary, can be cleaned up after migration)
+  - Root or administrative access credentials
+- **Target Cluster Requirements**:
+  - NEW MySQL 8.0.44 MGR cluster created BEFORE migration
+  - Storage capacity 2-3x source database size
+  - Same or higher resource allocation (CPU/Memory) as source
+  - Network connectivity from your local machine to both clusters
+- **Pre-Migration Tasks**:
+  - Complete [Schema Compatibility Analysis](#schema-compatibility-analysis) and fix issues
+  - Complete [Character Set Migration](#character-set-and-collation-analysis) if using legacy charsets
+  - Schedule maintenance window with application team
+  - Notify stakeholders about planned downtime
+  - Prepare rollback plan documented in [Disaster Recovery](#disaster-recovery)
+
+### Important Limitations
+
+- Application downtime is REQUIRED during export and import for consistency
+- Recommended maximum database size: 200GB (larger databases may require alternative approaches)
+- GTID must be enabled on source cluster
+- Target cluster must be created BEFORE migration begins
+- Storage performance (IOPS/Throughput) on target should match or exceed source
+- Some MySQL 8.0 features (Roles, Caching SHA2 passwords) require post-migration configuration
+
+## Configuration Guide
+
+### Step 0: Create Target MySQL 8.0 Instance
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Create the target MySQL 8.0 instance BEFORE starting migration.
+
+**Using Web Console:**
+
+Refer to the [Create MySQL Instance documentation](https://docs.alauda.io/mysql-mgr/4.2/functions/01-create.html) for detailed instructions. Key configuration points:
+
+1. Choose **MGR** as cluster type (recommended for production)
+2. Select version **8.0.44** or later
+3. Configure resources (at minimum, match source cluster)
+4. Set storage size to **2-3x** source database size
+5. Deploy with 3 replicas for high availability
+
+**Using Command Line:**
+
+```bash
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+STORAGE_SIZE="500Gi"  # Adjust based on your source DB size
+
+cat << EOF | kubectl -n $NAMESPACE create -f -
+apiVersion: middleware.alauda.io/v1
+kind: Mysql
+metadata:
+  name: $TARGET_NAME
+  namespace: $NAMESPACE
+spec:
+  type: MGR
+  version: "8.0.44"
+  replicas: 3
+  resources:
+    requests:
+      cpu: 2000m
+      memory: 4Gi
+    limits:
+      cpu: 4000m
+      memory: 8Gi
+  storage:
+    size: $STORAGE_SIZE
+  mysqlConfig:
+    my.cnf: |
+      [mysqld]
+      innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G
+      max_connections = 500
+EOF
+```
+
+**Verify target cluster:**
+
+```bash
+# Wait for cluster to be ready
+kubectl -n $NAMESPACE get mysql $TARGET_NAME -w
+
+# Expected output: All 3 members ready, status: Running
+```
+
+**Target endpoints after creation:**
+```bash
+# Primary (read-write)
+$TARGET_NAME-read-write.$NAMESPACE.svc.cluster.local:3306
+
+# Replicas (read-only)
+$TARGET_NAME-read-only.$NAMESPACE.svc.cluster.local:3306
+```
+
+### Schema Compatibility Analysis
+
+Perform this analysis **1 week before** planned migration.
+
+#### Automated Compatibility Checks
+
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+DATABASES="db1 db2 db3"  # Space-separated list
+
+# 1. Check for reserved keywords
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE
+    FROM information_schema.COLUMNS
+    WHERE COLUMN_NAME IN ('RANK', 'GROUPS', 'FUNCTION', 'SYSTEM', 'RELOAD',
+                          'ARRAY', 'OFFSET', 'CUBE', 'ROLE', 'VALUES')
+    AND TABLE_SCHEMA NOT IN ('mysql', 'information_schema', 'performance_schema', 'sys')
+    AND TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+    ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;
+  "
+
+# 2. Check for invalid date defaults
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, COLUMN_DEFAULT
+    FROM information_schema.COLUMNS
+    WHERE DATA_TYPE IN ('date', 'datetime', 'timestamp')
+      AND COLUMN_DEFAULT LIKE '0000-00-00%'
+      AND TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+    ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;
+  "
+
+# 3. Check for ZEROFILL usage
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, COLUMN_TYPE
+    FROM information_schema.COLUMNS
+    WHERE COLUMN_TYPE LIKE '%ZEROFILL%'
+      AND TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+    ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;
+  "
+
+# 4. Check for TEXT columns with DEFAULT values
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, COLUMN_TYPE, COLUMN_DEFAULT
+    FROM information_schema.COLUMNS
+    WHERE DATA_TYPE IN ('text', 'tinytext', 'mediumtext', 'longtext')
+      AND COLUMN_DEFAULT IS NOT NULL
+      AND TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+    ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;
+  "
+
+# 5. Check for views using SELECT *
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, VIEW_DEFINITION
+    FROM information_schema.VIEWS
+    WHERE VIEW_DEFINITION LIKE 'SELECT %'
+      AND TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+    ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;
+  "
+```
+
+#### Fix Schema Issues
+
+```bash
+# Fix reserved keyword columns (example)
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    USE db1;
+    ALTER TABLE users CHANGE COLUMN rank user_rank INT;
+  "
+
+# Fix invalid date defaults (example)
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    USE db1;
+    ALTER TABLE events MODIFY COLUMN created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
+  "
+
+# Fix ZEROFILL columns (remove ZEROFILL)
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    USE db1;
+    ALTER TABLE products MODIFY COLUMN price DECIMAL(10,2);
+  "
+```
+
+### Character Set and Collation Analysis
+
+Perform this analysis **3-5 days before** planned migration.
+
+#### Audit Character Sets
+
+```bash
+# Check database character sets
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT SCHEMA_NAME, DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME, DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME
+    FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA
+    WHERE SCHEMA_NAME IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+    ORDER BY SCHEMA_NAME;
+  "
+
+# Check table character sets
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_COLLATION
+    FROM information_schema.TABLES
+    WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+      AND TABLE_COLLATION NOT LIKE 'utf8mb4%'
+    ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME;
+  "
+```
+
+#### Convert to utf8mb4
+
+```bash
+# Convert databases to utf8mb4
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+      ALTER DATABASE ${db} CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+    "
+done
+
+# Convert tables to utf8mb4
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  TABLES=$(kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
+      SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.TABLES
+      WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '${db}' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE';
+    ")
+
+  for table in ${TABLES}; do
+    echo "Converting ${db}.${table}..."
+    kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+      mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} ${db} -e "
+        ALTER TABLE ${table} CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+      "
+  done
+done
+```
+
+**Important Note**: For tables with long VARCHAR/TEXT indexes (>191 characters), you may need to adjust index lengths:
+
+```sql
+-- Example: Fix index length for utf8mb4
+ALTER TABLE users DROP INDEX idx_email;
+ALTER TABLE users ADD UNIQUE INDEX idx_email (email(191));
+```
+
+### Migration Procedure
+
+#### Prerequisites Verification
+
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+DATABASES="db1 db2 db3"
+
+# 1. Verify GTID enabled on source
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT @@gtid_mode, @@enforce_gtid_consistency;"
+# Expected: ON, ON
+
+# 2. Verify target cluster healthy
+kubectl -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} get mysql ${TARGET_NAME}
+# Expected: All 3 members ready, status: Running
+
+# 3. Verify target is MySQL 8.0
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT VERSION();"
+# Expected: 8.0.44 or later
+
+# 4. List databases to migrate
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SHOW DATABASES;" | \
+  grep -v -E "^(Database|information_schema|mysql|performance_schema|sys)$"
+```
+
+#### Export Data from Source
+
+```bash
+# Set variables
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+DATABASES="db1 db2 db3"
+WORK_DIR="/tmp/mysql-migration"
+
+# Create working directory
+mkdir -p ${WORK_DIR}
+cd ${WORK_DIR}
+
+# Export each database
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  echo "Exporting ${db}..."
+  kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+    mysqldump -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} \
+      --single-transaction \
+      --quick \
+      --lock-tables=false \
+      --set-gtid-purged=ON \
+      --routines \
+      --events \
+      --triggers \
+      --databases ${db} \
+      2>/dev/null > ${db}.sql
+
+  echo "  ✓ Exported $(wc -c < ${db}.sql) bytes"
+done
+```
+
+**mysqldump flags explained:**
+- `--single-transaction`: Consistent snapshot using MVCC (recommended for InnoDB)
+- `--quick`: Retrieves rows one at a time (prevents memory issues with large tables)
+- `--lock-tables=false`: Don't lock tables (relies on single-transaction for consistency)
+- `--set-gtid-purged=ON`: Include GTID information for replication consistency
+- `--routines`: Export stored procedures and functions
+- `--events`: Export events
+- `--triggers`: Export triggers
+- `2>/dev/null`: Suppress warnings (filtering out MySQL 5.7->8.0 incompatibility warnings)
+
+#### Import Data to Target
+
+```bash
+# Set variables
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+DATABASES="db1 db2 db3"
+WORK_DIR="/tmp/mysql-migration"
+
+cd ${WORK_DIR}
+
+# Import to target (filter out GTID_PURGED - incompatible with MGR)
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  echo "Importing ${db}..."
+  grep -v "SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED" ${db}.sql | \
+    kubectl exec -i ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+      mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
+
+  echo "  ✓ Imported"
+done
+```
+
+**Important**: We filter out `SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED` because MGR clusters don't allow setting GTID_PURGED while Group Replication plugin is running. This is safe for migration scenarios.
+
+### User and Privilege Migration
+
+#### Export Users and Privileges
+
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+WORK_DIR="/tmp/mysql-migration"
+mkdir -p ${WORK_DIR}/users
+
+# Export users and grants
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
+    SELECT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''', user, '''@''', host, ''';')
+    FROM mysql.user
+    WHERE user NOT IN ('mysql.sys', 'mysql.session', 'mysql.infoschema', 'root');
+  " | while read query; do
+    kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+      mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "${query}" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/$/;/'
+  done > "${WORK_DIR}/users/grants.sql"
+
+echo "✓ Exported $(grep -c "GRANT" "${WORK_DIR}/users/grants.sql") grant statements"
+```
+
+#### Import Users and Privileges
+
+```bash
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+WORK_DIR="/tmp/mysql-migration"
+
+# Import grants
+cat "${WORK_DIR}/users/grants.sql" | \
+  kubectl exec -i ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
+
+# Flush privileges
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
+
+echo "✓ Imported users and privileges"
+```
+
+#### MySQL 8.0 Authentication Considerations
+
+MySQL 8.0 uses `caching_sha2_password` by default. If your application uses older MySQL clients:
+
+```bash
+# Option 1: Update user to use mysql_native_password (compatibility)
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    ALTER USER 'app_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
+  "
+
+# Option 2: Create MySQL 8.0 Roles (new feature)
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    CREATE ROLE 'app_read', 'app_write';
+    GRANT SELECT ON app_db.* TO 'app_read';
+    GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON app_db.* TO 'app_write';
+    GRANT 'app_read' TO 'report_user'@'%';
+  "
+```
+
+### Complete Database Object Verification
+
+Verify ALL database objects have been migrated successfully.
+
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"

+
+### Post-Migration Optimization
+
+Optimize the target MySQL 8.0 instance after successful migration.
+
+#### 1. Update Table Statistics
+
+```bash
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"
+DATABASES="db1 db2 db3"
+
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  echo "Analyzing tables in ${db}..."
+  TABLES=$(kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
+      SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.TABLES
+      WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '${db}' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE';
+    ")
+
+  for table in ${TABLES}; do
+    kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+      mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} ${db} -e "ANALYZE TABLE ${table};" 2>&1 | grep -v "Table"
+  done
+
+  echo "  ✓ Analyzed $(echo ${TABLES} | wc -w) tables"
+done
+```
+
+#### 2. Create Histograms (MySQL 8.0 Feature)
+
+Histograms improve query performance for non-indexed columns:
+
+```bash
+# Example: Create histogram on frequently filtered column
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    ANALYZE TABLE db1.orders UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON customer_id, status WITH 100 BUCKETS;
+  "
+```
+
+#### 3. Check Fragmentation
+
+```bash
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME,
+           ROUND(DATA_FREE / 1024 / 1024, 2) AS 'Fragmentation (MB)'
+    FROM information_schema.TABLES
+    WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}')
+      AND DATA_FREE > 0
+    ORDER BY DATA_FREE DESC;
+  "
+```
+
+If significant fragmentation found (>100MB), rebuild tables:
+
+```sql
+-- Rebuild fragmented table
+OPTIMIZE TABLE db1.orders;
+```
+
+#### 4. Configuration Tuning
+
+Optimize MySQL 8.0 configuration for better performance:
+
+```yaml
+# Update mysql-8-target instance config
+apiVersion: middleware.alauda.io/v1
+kind: Mysql
+metadata:
+  name: mysql-8-target
+spec:
+  mysqlConfig:
+    my.cnf: |
+      [mysqld]
+      # InnoDB settings
+      innodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G
+      innodb_log_file_size = 512M
+      innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
+
+      # MySQL 8.0 specific optimizations
+      innodb_parallel_read_threads = 4
+      performance_schema = ON
+
+      # Connection settings
+      max_connections = 500
+      thread_cache_size = 50
+
+      # Query cache (disabled in 8.0, but reserved)
+      # query_cache_type = 0
+      # query_cache_size = 0
+```
+
+Apply configuration:
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} patch mysql ${TARGET_NAME} --type=merge -p '
+{
+  "spec": {
+    "mysqlConfig": {
+      "my.cnf": "[mysqld]\ninnodb_buffer_pool_size = 2G\n..."
+    }
+  }
+}'
+```
+
+#### 5. Create Performance Baseline
+
+```bash
+# Record current performance metrics
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT NOW() AS baseline_date,
+           COUNT(*) AS total_tables,
+           SUM(TABLE_ROWS) AS total_rows,
+           ROUND(SUM(DATA_LENGTH + INDEX_LENGTH) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024, 2) AS total_size_gb
+    FROM information_schema.TABLES
+    WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA IN ('${DATABASES// /,\'','\'}');
+  " > /tmp/mysql-8-baseline.txt
+```
+
+## Normal Operations
+
+### Application Cutover
+
+After migration verification is complete, cutover application traffic:
+
+#### 1. Stop Application Writes
+
+```bash
+# Scale down application to zero
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=0 -n <app-namespace>
+
+# Verify no active connections
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SHOW PROCESSLIST;" | grep -v "Sleep"
+```
+
+#### 2. Update Application Connection String
+
+```bash
+# Update ConfigMap or environment variables
+kubectl patch configmap <app-config> -n <app-namespace> --type=json \
+  -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/data/database-host", "value":"mysql-8-target-read-write.'${TARGET_NAMESPACE}'.svc.cluster.local"}]'
+
+kubectl patch configmap <app-config> -n <app-namespace> --type=json \
+  -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/data/database-port", "value":"3306"}]'
+```
+
+#### 3. Restart Application
+
+```bash
+# Scale up application
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=<original-replica-count> -n <app-namespace>
+
+# Wait for pods to be ready
+kubectl -n <app-namespace> rollout status deployment <app-name>
+```
+
+#### 4. Verify Application Functionality
+
+```bash
+# Test database connectivity from application pod
+kubectl exec -it <app-pod> -n <app-namespace> -- \
+  mysql -h mysql-8-target-read-write.${TARGET_NAMESPACE}.svc.cluster.local \
+    -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT 1 AS test;"
+
+# Check application logs for errors
+kubectl logs -n <app-namespace> <app-pod> --tail=100 | grep -i error
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+
+Monitor the migrated instance for 24-48 hours:
+
+```bash
+# Check MySQL 8.0 instance health
+kubectl -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} get mysql ${TARGET_NAME} -w
+
+# Monitor error logs
+kubectl logs -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -c mysql --tail=100 -f
+
+# Check replication status (if applicable)
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G"
+```
+
+## Disaster Recovery
+
+### Rollback Plan
+
+If critical issues are discovered after cutover:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop application
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=0 -n <app-namespace>
+
+# 2. Update connection string back to source
+kubectl patch configmap <app-config> -n <app-namespace> --type=json \
+  -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/data/database-host", "value":"'${SOURCE_NAME}'-proxysql.'${SOURCE_NAMESPACE}'.svc.cluster.local"}]'
+
+# 3. Restart application
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=<original-replica-count> -n <app-namespace>
+
+# 4. Verify connectivity
+kubectl exec -it <app-pod> -n <app-namespace> -- \
+  mysql -h ${SOURCE_NAME}-proxysql.${SOURCE_NAMESPACE}.svc.cluster.local \
+    -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT 1 AS test;"
+
+# 5. Monitor application logs
+kubectl logs -n <app-namespace> <app-pod> --tail=100 -f
+```
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+#### Issue: GTID_PURGED Error
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+ERROR 3546 (HY000) at line XX: Cannot update GTID_PURGED with the Group Replication plugin running

+# Check current character set
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_COLLATION
+    FROM information_schema.TABLES
+    WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '${db}' AND TABLE_COLLATION NOT LIKE 'utf8mb4%';
+  "
+
+# Convert to utf8mb4
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    ALTER DATABASE ${db} CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+  "
+```
+
+#### Issue: DEFINER Privilege Errors
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+ERROR 1449 (HY000): The user specified as a definer ('user'@'host') does not exist
+```
+
+**Solution:**

+# Update user to use mysql_native_password for compatibility
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    ALTER USER 'app_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
+    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+  "
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Diagnostic Commands
+
+#### Check Migration Progress
+
+```bash
+# Monitor export progress
+watch -n 5 'ls -lh /tmp/mysql-migration/*.sql'
+
+# Monitor import progress
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SHOW PROCESSLIST;"
+```
+
+#### Verify Data Integrity
+
+```bash
+# Compare row counts for all tables
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  echo "=== Database: ${db} ==="
+  kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
+      SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS
+      FROM information_schema.TABLES
+      WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '${db}' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
+      ORDER BY TABLE_NAME;
+    " > /tmp/source_counts.txt
+
+  kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
+      SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS
+      FROM information_schema.TABLES
+      WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '${db}' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
+      ORDER BY TABLE_NAME;
+    " > /tmp/target_counts.txt
+
+  diff /tmp/source_counts.txt /tmp/target_counts.txt || echo "Row count differences detected!"
+done
+```
+
+#### Check MySQL 8.0 Error Logs
+
+```bash
+# Real-time error monitoring
+kubectl logs -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -c mysql --tail=100 -f | grep -i error
+
+# Search for specific errors
+kubectl logs -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -c mysql --tail=1000 | grep -i "definer"
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Pre-Migration Planning
+
+- **Test in Staging**: Always perform a test migration in non-production environment first
+- **Schema Cleanup**: Fix all schema compatibility issues before production migration
+- **Character Set Migration**: Convert to utf8mb4 well in advance (at least 3-5 days before)
+- **Backup Strategy**: Ensure recent backups are available before migration
+- **Maintenance Window**: Schedule adequate downtime based on database size
+- **Communication**: Notify all stakeholders including application teams and DBAs
+
+### During Migration
+
+- **Stop Application Writes**: Ensure no writes during export/import for consistency
+- **Monitor Progress**: Track export/import progress at regular intervals
+- **Verify Incrementally**: Run verification scripts after each major step
+- **Document Issues**: Record any issues encountered for future reference
+- **Keep Source Running**: Don't delete source until migration is verified
+
+### Post-Migration
+
+- **Comprehensive Testing**: Thoroughly test application functionality
+- **Performance Monitoring**: Monitor query performance and resource utilization for 24-48 hours
+- **Optimization**: Run post-migration optimization procedures
+- **Keep Source for Rollback**: Maintain source cluster for 24-48 hours for rollback window
+- **Update Documentation**: Update connection strings, runbooks, and monitoring dashboards

 ### Common Use Cases
 
 | Scenario | Database Size | Estimated Downtime | Section Reference |
@@ -85,6 +131,85 @@ Before performing MySQL migration, ensure you have:
 - Storage performance (IOPS/Throughput) on target should match or exceed source
 - Some MySQL 8.0 features (Roles, Caching SHA2 passwords) require post-migration configuration
 
+## Getting Started
+
+Before running migration commands, gather the required information:
+
+### 1. Get MySQL Root Password
+
+```bash
+# For PXC 5.7 source
+kubectl get secret <source-name> -n <source-namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d
+
+# For MGR 8.0 target
+kubectl get secret mgr-<target-name>-password -n <target-namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Get source password
+kubectl get secret source -n jpsu2-midautons -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d
+# Output: root123@
+
+# Get target password
+kubectl get secret mgr-target-password -n jpsu2-midautons -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d
+# Output: root123@
+```
+
+### 2. Identify Pod Names
+
+```bash
+# Check source PXC pods
+kubectl get pod -n <source-namespace> | grep <source-name>
+# Example output: source-pxc-0, source-pxc-1, source-pxc-2
+
+# Check target MGR pods
+kubectl get pod -n <target-namespace> | grep <target-name>
+# Example output: target-0, target-1, target-2
+
+# Verify MGR container name
+kubectl describe pod <target-name>-0 -n <target-namespace> | grep "Container:"
+# MGR pods have multiple containers - always use `-c mysql` for MySQL commands
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Cluster Status
+
+```bash
+# Check PXC source status
+kubectl get mysql <source-name> -n <source-namespace>
+# Expected: STATE = ready, PXCSTATE = ready
+
+# Check MGR target status
+kubectl get mysql <target-name> -n <target-namespace>
+# Expected: All 3 members ready, STATUS = Running
+```
+
+### 4. kubectl Exec Best Practices
+
+When running MySQL commands via `kubectl exec`, follow these patterns:
+
+**For PXC 5.7 (source):**
+```bash
+# No container specifier needed for PXC
+kubectl exec <source-name>-pxc-0 -n <namespace> -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p<password> -e "SQL_HERE"
+```
+
+**For MGR 8.0 (target):**
+```bash
+# Always use -c mysql for MGR
+kubectl exec <target-name>-0 -n <namespace> -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p<password> -e "SQL_HERE"
+```
+
+**Important Notes:**
+- Always use the parameter order: `kubectl exec -n <namespace> <pod-name> -- <command>`
+- Use `--` (double dash) before the command to separate kubectl options from the command
+- Use `\` (backslash) for multi-line commands
+- Avoid heredocs (`<<EOF`) with `kubectl exec` - they often fail due to shell quoting issues
+- Use `-e "SQL"` for single statements, multiple `-e` for multiple statements
+- When using variables, place `-n <namespace>` before the pod name to avoid parsing issues

 #### MySQL 8.0 Authentication Considerations
 
-MySQL 8.0 uses `caching_sha2_password` by default. If your application uses older MySQL clients:
+**Understanding MySQL 8.0 Authentication:**
+
+MySQL 8.0 changed the default authentication plugin from `mysql_native_password` to `caching_sha2_password`. This has important implications:
+
+| Plugin | MySQL 5.7 | MySQL 8.0 | Compatible With |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|------------------|
+| `mysql_native_password` | Default | Available | All MySQL clients |
+| `caching_sha2_password` | Available | **Default** | MySQL 8.0+ clients only |
+
+**When to Use Each Plugin:**
+
+**Use `mysql_native_password` if:**
+- Your application uses MySQL client library older than 5.7.23
+- Your application uses PHP, Python, or Java with older MySQL connectors
+- You need maximum compatibility during migration transition period
+
+**Use `caching_sha2_password` (default) if:**
+- Your application uses MySQL 8.0+ client library
+- Your application uses modern ORMs/frameworks (e.g., latest Sequelize, Django 3.0+)
+- You want better security (SHA-256 vs SHA-1)
+
+**Option 1: Change Users to mysql_native_password (Migration Compatibility)**
 
 ```bash
-# Option 1: Update user to use mysql_native_password (compatibility)
+# For all application users
 kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
   mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
     ALTER USER 'app_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
+    ALTER USER 'readonly_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
+    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   "
 
-# Option 2: Create MySQL 8.0 Roles (new feature)
+# Verify
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql.user WHERE user LIKE 'app_%';"
+```
+
+**Option 2: Keep caching_sha2_password (Recommended for New Apps)**
+
+```bash
+# No changes needed - users are created with default plugin
+# Verify your application client library supports it
+
+# Check current user plugins
+kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql.user WHERE user NOT IN ('mysql.sys', 'mysql.session', 'mysql.infoschema', 'root');"
+```
+
+**Option 3: Use MySQL 8.0 Roles (New Feature - Recommended)**
+
+```bash
+# Create roles for privilege management
 kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
   mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
-    CREATE ROLE 'app_read', 'app_write';
+    CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS 'app_read';
+    CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS 'app_write';
+    CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS 'app_admin';
+
     GRANT SELECT ON app_db.* TO 'app_read';
-    GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON app_db.* TO 'app_write';
+    GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON app_db.* TO 'app_write';
+    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON app_db.* TO 'app_admin';
+
+    -- Grant roles to users
     GRANT 'app_read' TO 'report_user'@'%';
+    GRANT 'app_write' TO 'app_user'@'%';
+    GRANT 'app_admin' TO 'dba_user'@'%';
+
+    SET DEFAULT ROLE ALL TO 'app_user'@'%';
+    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   "
 ```
 
+**Testing Authentication:**
+
+```bash
+# Test connection from application pod
+kubectl exec -it <app-pod> -n <app-namespace> -- \
+  mysql -h mysql-8-target-read-write.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local \
+    -uapp_user -ppassword -e "SELECT 1 AS test;"
+
+# If you see error "Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded":
+# → Switch user to mysql_native_password (Option 1 above)
+```

+## Appendix: Migration Scripts Reference
+
+This section provides detailed documentation for the automated migration scripts that simplify the MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 migration process.
+
+### Overview
+
+The migration scripts provide a three-step automated approach:
+
+| Script | Purpose | When to Run | Duration |
+|--------|---------|-------------|----------|
+| **00-pre-migration-check.sh** | Pre-migration compatibility analysis | 1 week before migration | 2-5 minutes |
+| **01-migrate-all.sh** | Complete migration (data + users) | During maintenance window | 15-60 minutes |
+| **02-verify-migration.sh** | Comprehensive verification | After migration | 5-10 minutes |
+
+### Script 1: Pre-Migration Check
+
+**Purpose:** Detects schema compatibility issues and validates environment setup.
+
+**What It Checks:**
+- Kubernetes cluster connectivity
+- Source cluster health and status
+- GTID mode enabled on source
+- Auto-detects user databases
+- Reserved keyword usage (RANK, GROUPS, FUNCTION, etc.)
+- Invalid date defaults (`0000-00-00`)
+- ZEROFILL column usage
+- TEXT columns with DEFAULT values
+- Character set compatibility (utf8mb4)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"              # Source cluster name
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace" # Source namespace
+MYSQL_PASSWORD="your-password"    # Source root password
+DATABASES="ALL"                   # "ALL" to auto-detect
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+vi 00-pre-migration-check.sh       # Edit configuration
+chmod +x 00-pre-migration-check.sh
+./00-pre-migration-check.sh
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+========================================
+MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 Pre-Migration Check
+========================================
+
+>>> Checking kubectl context
+✓ Connected to Kubernetes cluster
+
+>>> Checking source cluster
+✓ Source cluster source found
+✓ Source cluster status: ready
+
+>>> Checking GTID mode on source
+✓ GTID mode is enabled
+
+>>> Detecting user databases
+✓ Databases to migrate:
+   app_db customer_db reporting_db
+
+⚠ Copy this line for your migration script:
+DATABASES="app_db customer_db reporting_db"
+
+>>> Checking for reserved keywords (MySQL 8.0)
+✓ No reserved keyword issues found
+
+[... more checks ...]
+
+========================================
+Pre-Migration Check Summary
+========================================
+
+✓ Configuration verified:
+   Source cluster: source.your-namespace
+   Databases to migrate: app_db customer_db reporting_db
+
+Next steps:
+   1. Fix any schema compatibility issues found above
+   2. Convert character sets if needed
+   3. Run script 01-migrate-all.sh to perform migration
+```
+
+### Script 2: Complete Migration
+
+**Purpose:** Migrates all databases, users, and privileges from source to target.
+
+**What It Does:**
+- Validates prerequisites (both clusters, GTID, versions)
+- Migrates databases using streaming (no disk storage required)
+- Migrates user accounts with `mysql_native_password`
+- Migrates all privileges and grants
+- Performs basic verification
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD="source-root-password"
+
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD="target-root-password"
+
+DATABASES="app_db customer_db reporting_db"  # From pre-migration check
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Before running: Stop application writes!
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=0 -n <app-namespace>
+
+# Edit and run
+vi 01-migrate-all.sh
+chmod +x 01-migrate-all.sh
+./01-migrate-all.sh
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```

+Target: mysql-8-target.your-namespace
+Databases migrated: 3/3
+Users migrated: 5
+Duration: 15m 32s
+
+✓ Migration completed successfully!
+
+Next steps:
+   1. Run script 02-verify-migration.sh for comprehensive verification
+   2. Update application connection strings
+   3. Perform application testing
+   4. Monitor for 24-48 hours before decommissioning source
+```
+
+### Script 3: Comprehensive Verification
+
+**Purpose:** Validates that all database objects migrated correctly.
+
+**What It Verifies:**
+- Tables (count comparison)
+- Views (count + execution test for each view)
+- Stored Procedures (count)
+- Stored Functions (count)
+- Triggers (count)
+- Events (count)
+- Row counts (sample check on first 5 tables per database)
+- User accounts (count + list)
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+SOURCE_NAME="source"
+SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD="source-root-password"
+
+TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
+TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
+TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD="target-root-password"
+
+DATABASES="app_db customer_db reporting_db"  # Same as migration
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+vi 02-verify-migration.sh
+chmod +x 02-verify-migration.sh
+./02-verify-migration.sh
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+========================================
+MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 Migration Verification

+========================================
+
+Total checks: 42

+Failed: 0
+
+✓ ALL CHECKS PASSED!
+
+Migration verification successful. Next steps:
+   1. Update application connection strings to point to target
+   2. Perform application testing
+   3. Monitor target cluster for 24-48 hours
+   4. Keep source cluster available for rollback during this period
+```
+
+### Getting Passwords
+
+**Source Cluster (PXC 5.7):**
+```bash
+kubectl get secret <source-name> -n <source-namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d
+```
+
+**Target Cluster (MGR 8.0):**
+```bash
+kubectl get secret mgr-<target-name>-password -n <target-namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Scripts
+
+**Script fails with "Cannot connect to Kubernetes cluster"**
+```bash
+kubectl config current-context
+kubectl cluster-info
+```
+
+**Script fails with "Source cluster not found"**
+```bash
+kubectl get mysql -n <namespace>
+```
+
+**Migration fails for specific database**
+```bash
+# Check target logs
+kubectl logs -n <target-namespace> <target-name>-0 -c mysql --tail=100
+
+# Manually test single database migration
+kubectl exec <source-name>-pxc-0 -n <source-namespace> -- \
+  mysqldump -uroot -p<password> --single-transaction --quick \
+    --lock-tables=false --set-gtid-purged=ON --routines --events --triggers \
+    --databases <db-name> 2>/dev/null | \
+  grep -v "SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED" | \
+  kubectl exec -i <target-name>-0 -n <target-namespace> -c mysql -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p<password>
+```
+
+### Full Workflow Example
+
+```bash
+# ===== 1 WEEK BEFORE MIGRATION =====
+./00-pre-migration-check.sh
+# → Output shows: DATABASES="app_db customer_db reporting_db"
+# → Fix any schema issues found
+# → Convert to utf8mb4 if needed
+
+# ===== DAY OF MIGRATION (Maintenance Window) =====
+
+# Stop application writes
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=0 -n <app-namespace>
+
+# Update migration script with DATABASES from pre-check
+vi 01-migrate-all.sh
+# DATABASES="app_db customer_db reporting_db"
+
+# Run migration
+./01-migrate-all.sh
+
+# Run verification
+./02-verify-migration.sh
+
+# Update application connection string to target
+kubectl patch configmap <app-config> -n <app-namespace> --type=json \
+  -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/data/db-host", "value":"mysql-8-target-read-write.namespace.svc.cluster.local"}]'
+
+# Restart application
+kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=3 -n <app-namespace>
+
+# Wait for pods ready
+kubectl -n <app-namespace> rollout status deployment <app-name>
+
+# Test application
+curl http://<app-service>/health
+
+# Monitor for 24-48 hours
+kubectl logs -n <target-namespace> mysql-8-target-0 -c mysql --tail=100 -f
+
+# ===== AFTER SUCCESSFUL TESTING (24-48 hours later) =====
+# Decommission source cluster
+kubectl delete mysql <source-name> -n <source-namespace>
+```
+
+### Script Features
+
+All scripts include:
+
+- ✅ **Color-coded output**: Green (success), Red (error), Yellow (warning), Blue (info)
+- ✅ **Progress indicators**: Shows current step and overall progress
+- ✅ **Error handling**: Exits on critical errors with clear messages
+- ✅ **Automatic detection**: Auto-discovers databases when `DATABASES="ALL"`
+- ✅ **Comprehensive checks**: Validates all prerequisites before proceeding
+- ✅ **Detailed output**: Shows exactly what was migrated and verified
+- ✅ **Minimal configuration**: Only 4-6 variables to configure per script
+
+### Important Notes
+
+1. **DO NOT Include System Databases**: The `DATABASES` variable must contain ONLY user/application databases. Do NOT include: `information_schema`, `mysql`, `performance_schema`, `sys`.
+
+2. **Stop Application Writes**: Ensure no application writes during migration to maintain data consistency.
+
+3. **Keep Source Cluster**: Do not delete source cluster until after application testing and 24-48 hours of successful operation.
+
+4. **Test in Staging**: Always perform a test migration in non-production environment first.
+
+5. **Monitor Post-Migration**: Monitor target cluster for 24-48 hours before decommissioning source.
+
+### Script Compatibility

 - **v2.1** (2026-01-30): Cross-namespace migration testing; updated test cases to focus on purpose and validation steps
 - **v2.2** (2026-01-30): Changed to streaming approach to eliminate disk space requirements
 - **v2.3** (2026-01-30): Clarified that source and target passwords are different; full end-to-end test verification
+- **v2.4** (2026-01-30): Added clear warnings that DATABASES variable must NOT include system databases
+- **v2.5** (2026-01-30): Added automated migration scripts for simplified execution
+
+**Changes in v2.5:**
+- Added automated migration scripts (3 scripts for complete workflow):
+  - `00-pre-migration-check.sh` - Pre-migration compatibility analysis
+  - `01-migrate-all.sh` - Complete migration (data + users + privileges)
+  - `02-verify-migration.sh` - Comprehensive verification
+- Added "Quick Start: Automated Migration Scripts" section in Configuration Guide
+- Added comprehensive "Appendix: Migration Scripts Reference" with:
+  - Detailed documentation for each script
+  - Expected output examples
+  - Configuration instructions
+  - Troubleshooting guide
+  - Full workflow example
+- Scripts feature:
+  - Color-coded output (success/error/warning/info)
+  - Progress indicators
+  - Automatic error detection and handling
+  - Auto-detection of user databases
+  - Minimal configuration (4-6 variables per script)
+- Scripts make migration accessible to users with minimal bash/kubectl knowledge
+- All scripts are executable and production-ready
+
+**Changes in v2.4:**
+- Added prominent warnings in all sections that use the `DATABASES` variable
+- Clarified that system databases (`information_schema`, `mysql`, `performance_schema`, `sys`) must NOT be migrated
+- Added inline comments to code examples: `# ← YOUR databases only (NOT: information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, sys)`
+- Updated Prerequisites section to explicitly mention identifying user databases only
+- System databases are managed internally by MySQL and have incompatible schemas between 5.7 and 8.0
 
 **Changes in v2.3:**
 - Clarified password variables: `SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD` vs `TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD` (both sections)

+This guide uses the automated migration scripts provided in the [Appendix](#appendix-migration-scripts-reference) to simplify the migration process.
 
-For automated execution, use the provided migration scripts which simplify the process into three steps:
-
-**📋 Available Scripts:**
-
-1. **00-pre-migration-check.sh** - Pre-migration compatibility analysis (run 1 week before)
-2. **01-migrate-all.sh** - Complete migration (data + users + privileges)
-3. **02-verify-migration.sh** - Comprehensive verification
-
-**🚀 Quick Usage:**
-
-```bash
-# Step 1: Pre-migration check (1 week before)
-vi 00-pre-migration-check.sh          # Edit configuration
-chmod +x 00-pre-migration-check.sh
-./00-pre-migration-check.sh           # Run check
-
-# Step 2: Migration (during maintenance window)
-vi 01-migrate-all.sh                  # Edit configuration
-chmod +x 01-migrate-all.sh
-./01-migrate-all.sh                   # Run migration
-
-# Step 3: Verification
-vi 02-verify-migration.sh             # Edit configuration
-chmod +x 02-verify-migration.sh
-./02-verify-migration.sh              # Run verification
-```
-
-**✨ Script Features:**
-- ✅ Color-coded output (success/error/warning)
-- ✅ Progress indicators
-- ✅ Automatic error detection
-- ✅ Comprehensive verification
-- ✅ Minimal configuration required

-### Schema Compatibility Analysis
+### Step 2: Schema Compatibility Analysis
 
 Perform this analysis **1 week before** planned migration.
 
-> **IMPORTANT:** `DATABASES` must contain ONLY user/application databases. **DO NOT** include system databases: `information_schema`, `mysql`, `performance_schema`, `sys`. These are managed internally by MySQL and have different schemas between versions 5.7 and 8.0.
-
-#### Automated Compatibility Checks
+Run the `00-pre-migration-check.sh` script to automatically detect schema compatibility issues and identify databases to migrate.

-
-#### Migrate Data (Stream from Source to Target)
-
-This method streams data directly from source to target **without storing dump files** on disk:
-
-```bash
-# Set variables
-SOURCE_NAME="source"
-SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
-TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
-TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
-# NOTE: Source and target clusters typically have different passwords
-SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD="source-root-password"
-TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD="target-root-password"
-DATABASES="db1 db2 db3"  # ← YOUR databases only (NOT: information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, sys)
-
-# Migrate each database (streaming, no intermediate storage)
-for db in ${DATABASES}; do
-  echo "Migrating ${db}..."
-
-  kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
-    mysqldump -uroot -p${SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD} \
-      --single-transaction \
-      --quick \
-      --lock-tables=false \
-      --set-gtid-purged=ON \
-      --routines \
-      --events \
-      --triggers \
-      --databases ${db} \
-      2>/dev/null | \
-    grep -v "SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED" | \
-    kubectl exec -i ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-      mysql -uroot -p${TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD}
-
-  echo "  ✓ Migrated ${db}"
-done
-```
-
-**Note:** Source and target passwords are typically different. Get passwords from:
-- Source: `kubectl get secret <source-name> -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d`
-- Target: `kubectl get secret mgr-<target-name>-password -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d`
-
-**Why streaming?**
-- No disk space required on source cluster (important for long-running clusters)
-- No disk space required on target cluster (receives stream directly)
-- No disk space required on your local machine (only pipe buffer memory)
-- Faster migration (no intermediate I/O)
-
-**mysqldump flags explained:**
-- `--single-transaction`: Consistent snapshot using MVCC (recommended for InnoDB)
-- `--quick`: Retrieves rows one at a time (prevents memory issues with large tables)
-- `--lock-tables=false`: Don't lock tables (relies on single-transaction for consistency)
-- `--set-gtid-purged=ON`: Include GTID information for replication consistency
-- `--routines`: Export stored procedures and functions
-- `--events`: Export events
-- `--triggers`: Export triggers
-- `2>/dev/null`: Suppress warnings (filtering out MySQL 5.7->8.0 incompatibility warnings)
-
-**Important**: We filter out `SET @@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED` because MGR clusters don't allow setting GTID_PURGED while Group Replication plugin is running. This is safe for migration scenarios.
-
-### User and Privilege Migration
-
-#### Stream Users and Privileges (Recommended)
-
-This method exports user accounts from the source and streams them directly to the target:
-
-```bash
-SOURCE_NAME="source"
-SOURCE_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
-TARGET_NAME="mysql-8-target"
-TARGET_NAMESPACE="your-namespace"
-# NOTE: Source and target clusters typically have different passwords
-SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD="source-root-password"
-TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD="target-root-password"
-
-# Exclude system users
-EXCLUDE_USERS="'mysql.sys', 'mysql.session', 'mysql.infoschema', 'root', 'clustercheck', 'monitor', 'operator', 'xtrabackup', 'repl'"
-
-# Step 1: Stream CREATE USER statements
-echo "Creating users on target..."
-kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
-    SELECT CONCAT('CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS ''', user, '''@''', host, ''' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password AS ''', replace(authentication_string, '\'', '\'\''), ''';')
-    FROM mysql.user
-    WHERE user NOT IN (${EXCLUDE_USERS});
-  " 2>/dev/null | grep -v "^Warning" | \
-  kubectl exec -i ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-    mysql -uroot -p${TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD} 2>&1 | grep -v "Using a password"
-
-# Step 2: Stream GRANT statements
-echo "Granting privileges..."
-kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
-    SELECT CONCAT('SHOW GRANTS FOR ''', user, '''@''', host, ''';')
-    FROM mysql.user
-    WHERE user NOT IN (${EXCLUDE_USERS});
-  " 2>/dev/null | grep -v "^Warning" | while read query; do
-    kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
-      mysql -uroot -p${SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "${query}" 2>/dev/null | grep "^GRANT" | sed 's/$/;/'
-  done | \
-  kubectl exec -i ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-    mysql -uroot -p${TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD} 2>&1 | grep -v "Using a password"
-
-# Step 3: Flush privileges
-kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" 2>&1 | grep -v "Using a password"
-
-# Step 4: Verify
-kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user WHERE user NOT IN (${EXCLUDE_USERS});" 2>&1 | grep -v "Using a password"
-
-echo "✓ Users and privileges migrated"
-```
-
-**Note:** Source and target passwords are typically different. Get passwords from:
-- Source: `kubectl get secret <source-name> -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d`
-- Target: `kubectl get secret mgr-<target-name>-password -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.data.root}' | base64 -d`
+### Step 4: Migrate Data, Users, and Privileges
 
-**Important:** This method uses `mysql_native_password` for compatibility. MySQL 8.0 uses `caching_sha2_password` by default, which may cause issues with older MySQL clients.
+Use the `01-migrate-all.sh` script to perform the migration. This script:
+1. Verifies prerequisites (GTID, versions, connectivity)
+2. Streams data for all specified databases directly from source to target
+3. Migrates user accounts and privileges (using `mysql_native_password` for compatibility)
 
-#### MySQL 8.0 Authentication Considerations
+**Procedure:**
 
-**Understanding MySQL 8.0 Authentication:**
+1. **Stop Application Writes**: Scale down your application to zero replicas to ensure data consistency.
+   ```bash
+   kubectl scale deployment <app-name> --replicas=0 -n <app-namespace>
+   ```
 
-MySQL 8.0 changed the default authentication plugin from `mysql_native_password` to `caching_sha2_password`. This has important implications:
+2. **Configure Script**:
+   Edit `01-migrate-all.sh` and set your cluster names, namespaces, and the `DATABASES` variable (using the list from Step 2).
 
-| Plugin | MySQL 5.7 | MySQL 8.0 | Compatible With |
-|--------|-----------|-----------|------------------|
-| `mysql_native_password` | Default | Available | All MySQL clients |
-| `caching_sha2_password` | Available | **Default** | MySQL 8.0+ clients only |
+3. **Run Migration**:
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x 01-migrate-all.sh
+   ./01-migrate-all.sh
+   ```
 
-**When to Use Each Plugin:**
-
-**Use `mysql_native_password` if:**
-- Your application uses MySQL client library older than 5.7.23
-- Your application uses PHP, Python, or Java with older MySQL connectors
-- You need maximum compatibility during migration transition period
-
-**Use `caching_sha2_password` (default) if:**
-- Your application uses MySQL 8.0+ client library
-- Your application uses modern ORMs/frameworks (e.g., latest Sequelize, Django 3.0+)
-- You want better security (SHA-256 vs SHA-1)
-
-**Option 1: Change Users to mysql_native_password (Migration Compatibility)**
-
-```bash
-# For all application users
-kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
-    ALTER USER 'app_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
-    ALTER USER 'readonly_user'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
-    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
-  "
-
-# Verify
-kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql.user WHERE user LIKE 'app_%';"
-```
-
-**Option 2: Keep caching_sha2_password (Recommended for New Apps)**
-
-```bash
-# No changes needed - users are created with default plugin
-# Verify your application client library supports it
-
-# Check current user plugins
-kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "SELECT user, host, plugin FROM mysql.user WHERE user NOT IN ('mysql.sys', 'mysql.session', 'mysql.infoschema', 'root');"
-```
-
-**Option 3: Use MySQL 8.0 Roles (New Feature - Recommended)**
-
-```bash
-# Create roles for privilege management
-kubectl exec ${TARGET_NAME}-0 -n ${TARGET_NAMESPACE} -c mysql -- \
-  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
-    CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS 'app_read';
-    CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS 'app_write';
-    CREATE ROLE IF NOT EXISTS 'app_admin';
-
-    GRANT SELECT ON app_db.* TO 'app_read';
-    GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON app_db.* TO 'app_write';
-    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON app_db.* TO 'app_admin';
+**Important Notes:**
+- The script uses **streaming migration**, so no disk space is consumed for dump files.
+- It automatically handles `GTID_PURGED` filtering for MGR compatibility.
+- User accounts are migrated with `mysql_native_password` to maximize compatibility with existing applications.
 
-    -- Grant roles to users
-    GRANT 'app_read' TO 'report_user'@'%';
-    GRANT 'app_write' TO 'app_user'@'%';
-    GRANT 'app_admin' TO 'dba_user'@'%';
 
-    SET DEFAULT ROLE ALL TO 'app_user'@'%';
-    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
-  "
-```
+### Step 5: Verify Migration
 
-**Testing Authentication:**
+Run the `02-verify-migration.sh` script to confirm ALL database objects have been migrated successfully.
 
 ```bash
-# Test connection from application pod
-kubectl exec -it <app-pod> -n <app-namespace> -- \
-  mysql -h mysql-8-target-read-write.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local \
-    -uapp_user -ppassword -e "SELECT 1 AS test;"
-
-# If you see error "Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' cannot be loaded":
-# → Switch user to mysql_native_password (Option 1 above)
+chmod +x 02-verify-migration.sh
+./02-verify-migration.sh
 ```
 
-### Complete Database Object Verification
-
-Verify ALL database objects have been migrated successfully.
-
-**Note:** This script uses temporary files to work around bash variable scoping issues with subshells.
-
-```bash

-  - `00-pre-migration-check.sh` - Pre-migration compatibility analysis
-  - `01-migrate-all.sh` - Complete migration (data + users + privileges)
-  - `02-verify-migration.sh` - Comprehensive verification
-- Added "Quick Start: Automated Migration Scripts" section in Configuration Guide
-- Added comprehensive "Appendix: Migration Scripts Reference" with:
-  - Detailed documentation for each script
-  - Expected output examples
-  - Configuration instructions
-  - Troubleshooting guide
-  - Full workflow example
-- Scripts feature:
-  - Color-coded output (success/error/warning/info)

-**Changes in v2.4:**
-- Added prominent warnings in all sections that use the `DATABASES` variable
-- Clarified that system databases (`information_schema`, `mysql`, `performance_schema`, `sys`) must NOT be migrated
-- Added inline comments to code examples: `# ← YOUR databases only (NOT: information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, sys)`
-- Updated Prerequisites section to explicitly mention identifying user databases only
-- System databases are managed internally by MySQL and have incompatible schemas between 5.7 and 8.0
-
-**Changes in v2.3:**
-- Clarified password variables: `SOURCE_MYSQL_PASSWORD` vs `TARGET_MYSQL_PASSWORD` (both sections)
-- Added kubectl commands to retrieve source and target passwords from secrets

 This guide uses the automated migration scripts provided in the [Appendix](#appendix-migration-scripts-reference) to simplify the migration process.
 
-### Step 1: Create Target MySQL 8.0 Instance
+### Step 1: Schema Compatibility Analysis
 
-**IMPORTANT**: Create the target MySQL 8.0 instance BEFORE starting migration.
+Perform this analysis **1 week before** planned migration.
+
+Run the `00-pre-migration-check.sh` script to automatically detect schema compatibility issues and identify databases to migrate.
+
+```bash
+# Edit configuration
+vi 00-pre-migration-check.sh
+
+# Run check
+chmod +x 00-pre-migration-check.sh
+./00-pre-migration-check.sh
+```
+
+The script will output:
+1. List of user databases to migrate (copy the `DATABASES="..."` line for later)
+2. Schema compatibility issues (Reserved keywords, Invalid dates, ZEROFILL, etc.)
+3. Character set analysis
+
+If the script reports issues, use the commands below to fix them.
+
+#### Fix Schema Issues
+
+```bash
+# Fix reserved keyword columns (example)
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    USE db1;
+    ALTER TABLE users CHANGE COLUMN rank user_rank INT;
+  "
+
+# Fix invalid date defaults (example)
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    USE db1;
+    ALTER TABLE events MODIFY COLUMN created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
+  "
+
+# Fix ZEROFILL columns (remove ZEROFILL)
+kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+  mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+    USE db1;
+    ALTER TABLE products MODIFY COLUMN price DECIMAL(10,2);
+  "
+```
+
+### Step 2: Character Set and Collation Analysis
+
+The `00-pre-migration-check.sh` script (run in Step 1) already checks for non-utf8mb4 tables. If it reported any "tables not using utf8mb4", you should convert them **3-5 days before** planned migration.
+
+#### Convert to utf8mb4
+
+```bash
+# Convert databases to utf8mb4
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e "
+      ALTER DATABASE ${db} CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+    "
+done
+
+# Convert tables to utf8mb4
+for db in ${DATABASES}; do
+  TABLES=$(kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+    mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -N -e "
+      SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.TABLES
+      WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = '${db}' AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE';

+    echo "Converting ${db}.${table}..."
+    kubectl exec ${SOURCE_NAME}-pxc-0 -n ${SOURCE_NAMESPACE} -- \
+      mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} ${db} -e "
+        ALTER TABLE ${table} CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
+      "
+  done
+done
+```
+
+**Important Note**: For tables with long VARCHAR/TEXT indexes (>191 characters), you may need to adjust index lengths:
+
+```sql
+-- Example: Fix index length for utf8mb4
+ALTER TABLE users DROP INDEX idx_email;
+ALTER TABLE users ADD UNIQUE INDEX idx_email (email(191));
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create Target MySQL 8.0 Instance
