Indeed. There are several flaws in how mysql handles data. This is why
Ok, do you have a link or two to info about that?
Mark, you seemed to snip away the link to presentation on youtube :
Oh. I really dislike videos of people explaining something I could read, if they'd just typed it up.... (I mean the author, not you). But I suppose I'll watch it. <snip>
We seem to be moving to postgresql.
Great!
I find I do not like it - it's much more of a pain to work with than mysql is. Do you have any opinions about meria d/b? Are there improvements over the flaws you're aware of with mysql?
Mariadb being a fork of mysql likely inherited mysql's "inconsistencies". Not that I would say mysql (and mariadb surely) folks are not working on improvements. E.g., the default installation of latest mysql does not have any accounts with empty password (I was weeding these away for years with every new installation of mysql. Oh, well, maybe I'm wrong, as this I just had seen fixed on FreeBSD, so it is possible that package maintainer did this nice cleaning). I'm not the one who can have any opinion on something (mariadb) which he doesn't use, still...
Well, remember that it was forked after the Evil Empire took over mysql. I just wonder if Oracle is *not* fixing some security issues... because they obviously want you to "fix" that problem by simply buying Oracle. With that train of thought, that's why I'm wondering if the mariad/b team *is* fixing the issues.
