MySQL belongs to Oracle. That’s literally all you need to.know in order to avoid it.
how did the joke go? “one rich asshole called larry ellison”?
what’s the joke part?
It spells Oracle.
Isn’t that the point of Postgresql. It’s basically an open source version of MySQL.
I’m sure there are some proprietary nonsense that MySQL has, but I’ve never needed it in 17 years
afaik MariaDB is the open source version of MySQL
Postgres is basically an open source version of Oracle DB. Much more featureful than MySQL. I believe Oracle bought MySQL just to kill it.
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
Didn’t Postgresql effectively win the database wars? Why use anything else?
Postgres or sqlite are the only ones I ever consider nowadays.
Stop using mysql, you have postgres.
And mariaSQL
Hell, even SQLite is good enough for most small projects.
