Hi Michael, The below link has a reference to using MariaDB. It says - Koha does not work well with MySQL 5.7 which is shipped with Ubuntu 16.04. use MariaDB instead. https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#MySQL.7CMariaDB I agree with your view in Bug 18962. Now I have the following queries. Looking forward to help from the Koha community on these Why Patron Clubs feature didnt get installed when we upgraded to 17.05 ? Is it because we are having MySql 5.7 ? Why the upgrade didnt give any error ? What we should do now to install this feature ? And should we be moving to MariaDB ? How do we do it ?

The other open bugs in patron clubs feature all relate to using MySQL. Looks like the clubs feature will get installed properly only if MariaDB is used.Mark Alexander and Michael Kuhn, are you using MySQL ? Have you tried the clubs feature using Maria DB ?
Yes, we are using MySQL 5.5.55.
No, we didn't try MariaDB. On the Koha Community page https://koha-community.org/download-koha/ MySQL is given as the recommended database management system. MariaDB does not seem to be an officially supported DBMS or someone forgot to add it there.
Concerning this matter I still support what I already have said in Bug 18962 (Including valid system requirements in Koha manual) * https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18962
