<p>A. First things first: </p>

<ol>
<li>Mr. Google hasn't helped me to found any reply to my question
above</li>
<li>Yes, I have read a solution to the opposite question here

(and it hasn't helped me: MySQL simply doesn't start)</li>
<li>I don't expect replies like 'MariaDB is better, - stop your silly

</ol>

<p>B. I am working with MySQL Workbench and because of that don't want to face any incompatibilities either now or in future.</p>

<p>C. Can someone share their experience (if any) in solving this problem?</p>
