Fuck MySQL, all my homies hate MySQL.
Postgres is the way to go.
"MariaDB"
Yes, Maria too.
Postgre is the way
I'm not sure what the future of MariaDB is... It lacks a bunch of newer MySQL features, and they've deviated far enough that I don't know if they can cleanly backport them from MySQL any more.
It was you! You killed it.
I do admit to moving the company cluster from MySQL to Postgres.
But only most of the traffic, some traces still remain, so the original MySQL still works
why?
I did two rounds of very long presentations comparing those two systems.
Personal reasons:
- SQL standard support is still very weak
- lack of WAL
- array support
- weird replication support
- utf8mb4 mess took too long to resolve
- many things started to get better only after Oracle takeover
lack of WAL
Isn't that what the binlog is?
array support
This annoys me too. It's not quite the same, but native JSON support landed in MySQL 5.7.8. It's stored in a binary format.
weird replication support
How does PostgreSQL do it?
Because it's proprietary
No, it's not proprietary, it just sucks.
