HeatWave: Support for Version 9.5.1

HeatWave now supports MySQL database 9.5.1. This is the latest Innovation release. It provides security and bug fixes in addition to feature enhancements. You can select version 9.5.1 when creating a new DB system. For existing DB systems, you must manually upgrade them to newer version, such as from version 9.5.0 to 9.5.1.

If you want to leverage the most recent advancements and enhancements, and stay abreast of cutting-edge technologies, then the Innovation release is the best fit for you. Alternatively, if your application requires established behavior, the LTS (8.4.x) or Bugfix (8.0.x) releases are more suitable.

HeatWave version 9.5.1 (Innovation) includes a new HeatWave Lakehouse JSON Engine Attribute parameter that lets you specify formats for both TIMESTAMP and DATETIME data types, and supports specifying stored generated columns when using the CREATE TABLE statement for Lakehouse tables.
