    Dunno how the split went when Oracle bought it, I mean mysql from your favourite distro is ...this?

  4. TheCoffeMaker

    what abt mariadb?

  5. Licaon_Kter

    Not by Oracle, so don't worry...maybe...

  6. jonas’

    depends where the codebase split originally

  7. TheCoffeMaker

    We should stop using mysql/mariadb and use real databases like postgresql (?

  8. ij

    seconded.

  9. Ge0rG

    well, there are voices from the terabyte-scale-dbms fraction regarding mysql being the only reasonable choice

  10. TheCoffeMaker

    As for my experience postgresql is more than capable to handle big databases

    I've seen mysql tank on just a million records or so, and that was rectified by disabling a specific optimizer option which was enabled by default. That and a lot of other database lore has me firmly in the "it's all a matter of configuration" camp
