DOES AN MariaDB UPDATE IN MY SERVER INFLUENCE OR BROKE MY MOODLE? (URGENT HELP PLEASE)

I have Moodle 4.1.1 + installed. My server has PHP 7.4  and Im using MySQL for the database (see attached image of the environment) On my server my hosting provider has MariaDB 5.7.44 installed and my hosting provider tells me that it needs to update MariaDB to MariaDB 10.6.7 in order to take the measures with my site if necessary.
My question is: Does this MariaDB update affect my current Moodle at all? I have a lot of students on the site and I can't let it break

You should not have an issue switching to mariadb and it is a version current enough to allow you to upgrade to 4.3 so that is good. Just make sure that you backup your database before it is switched over.

Thank you. But I plan to continue for one or two more months with the version I have of Moodle (4.1.1). Am I not going to have problems? Will it keep working well?

You'll find the database requirements of various Moodle versions, here:
- https://moodledev.io/general/releases/4.1 LTS
- https://moodledev.io/general/releases/4.2
- https://moodledev.io/general/releases/4.3

Yes, they don't show the *maximum* allowed versions. I try to keep track of them in this chart: http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases (notice the *max.* columns).

Moodle 4.1 LTS is compatible with MySQL 5.7 and 8.0. Moodle 4.2 and 4.3 start at MySQL 8.0. The maximum versions are not yet known - still in the future.
