Wamp anyone? (I think thats what its called, im at work and cant check my pc) Or am i the odd one out.
Clearly you can’t use MySQL because it isn’t webscale.
No one should be using MySQL since 2010.
Perhaps MariaDB is a better choice.
Didn’t Postgresql effectively win the database wars? Why use anything else?
Postgres or sqlite are the only ones I ever consider nowadays.
If only the upgrade process wasn’t so annoying with postgres…
What do you mean?
Stop DB, run pg_upgrade, start it, win?
Or set up logical replication into newer version, wait for sync, test use-cases, switch write?
Where do you get better experience?
See also duckdb and clickhouse for OLAP of course.
when is Oracle gonna go Broadcom mode on MySQL, still waiting for the moment 🍿
What year is this? No one should be using Mysql since MariaDB came about.
What rock do you live under if you’re using MySQL over MariaDB?
Older people about to return to programming, and most of the online tutorials they have are about 20 years old, having no idea an alternative exists.
If you don’t want to use postgresql for some obscure reason use MariaDB real open source MySQL drop in replacement.
Why would anyone ever choose mysql over postgres?
MySQL has been the “default” choice for a long time for PHP programmers. I don’t know why.
It used to be free with less of a barrier to entry than postgres
Tutorials mostly.
@Scrollone @BrilliantantTurd4361 Because it used to be a lot faster than postgresql for smaller sites. MyISAM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyISAM) was super lightweight, at the expense of the occasional corrupt database (oops).
I don’t know how many new people are coming to PHP these days (as opposed to javascript/python/rust/etc), but certainly the older PHP coders grew up using mysql.
LAMP indeed
We need LAPP . Stat!
Dude. You never finish.
Oracle sees itself as an activist organization, one whose goal is the advancement of the Israeli colonization project. Safra Catz, the company’s Israeli-American CEO, bluntly explained that any employees uncomfortable with supporting a genocide should simply quit. “We are not flexible regarding our mission, and our commitment to Israel is second to none” (source)
Hmm, MySQL or PostgreSQL—how will we ever decide which one to pick.
wow, I didn’t need any more reasons not to support Oracle but thanks anyway
MariaDB is not always a drop-in replacement. There’s several features that MySQL has that MariaDB doesn’t, especially related to the optimizer (for some types of queries, MySQL will give you a more optimized execution plan compared to MariaDB). It’s also missing some newer data types, like JSON (which indexes the individual fields in JSON objects to make filtering on them more efficient).
MariaDB and MySQL are both fine. Even though MySQL doesn’t receive as much development any more, it doesn’t really need it. It works fine. If you want a better database system, switch to PostgreSQL, not MariaDB.
That’s why I moved to MSSQL
/s
I didn’t know this was ever in question?
Also stop calling it “my sequel”
stop calling it “my sequel”
Why?
Sequel is Microsoft. S-Q-L is Linux.
Microsoft’s is “squeal”. Like a pig. When you get the bill.
