MySQL

What? PostgreSQL can now be accessed using MySQL clients? That’s right, openHalo, which was open-sourced on April Fool’s Day, provides exactly this capability and has now joined the Pigsty kernel family.

Percona’s CEO Peter Zaitsev recently published a blog discussing whether MySQL can still keep up with PostgreSQL’s momentum.

Percona founder Peter Zaitsev publicly expressed disappointment with MySQL and its IP owner Oracle in an official blog post, as well as dissatisfaction with performance degradation in newer versions. This is indeed a signal worth attention.

Peter Zaitsev, founder of Percona (an important company in the MySQL ecosystem), wrote an article harshly criticizing Oracle’s actions and inactions that killed MySQL.

MySQL performance degrades with higher versions? While PostgreSQL advances triumphantly, eating the database world, MySQL’s performance and features are being left further behind. Why has MySQL stagnated under Oracle? I think it’s mainly the fault of cloud vendors freeloading - PG should take warning.

MySQL’s transaction ACID has flaws and doesn’t match documentation promises. This may lead to serious correctness issues - use with caution.
