Uh oh…

Lmao he did it again

Hope he got another kid to name that next fork after.

Well, who is using mysql/mariadb nowadays anyways? If you haven’t made the switch to at least postgres in the past 5 years, you messed up anyways.

tormeh ,

MySQL sucks, and almost everyone who willingly use it also sucks.

Nextcloud.

Though I think it has some level of support for postgres by now. I should check on that.

eleitl ,

The Go version?

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Are you thinking of ownCloud Infinite Scale? NextCloud is still PHP.

eleitl ,

Ah, yes. Thanks.

earmuff ,

My question was ironic, implying that anyone using it in a productive system/software/service is doing a very bad job at software architecture. I avoid any product relying on super slow software pieces.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

I use NextCloud w/ Postgres and it works completely fine.

Great. It wasn’t too long ago that MariaDb was still the “recommended” option.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

It’s still “recommended” and pretty much every tutorial I see uses it, but Postgres seems to work just fine.

Unpopular opinion?: without wordpress, mysql/mariadb would have died years ago.

There were so many web apps written in the early 00s on the LAMP stack, including Facebook. And that’s not counting the tiny internal applications that so many businesses have that use MySQL/MariaDB. Because these are business critical applications, they pay Oracle/MariaDB for support.

N0x0n ,

Hummm… Can someone tell me if this is good news or bad news?

Generally a buy-out is mostly bad news, but I can’t tell here in this specific case.

MariaDB.com is separate from MariaDB.org that does the development, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

Then again, the folks working at MariaDB.com might have a different opinion.

N0x0n , (edited )

Okay thank you :). We will see after a few years I guess?

It doesn’t look like an “emergency alarm” to switch over to another database. However, I was already thinking of switching every container to postgres. Maybe that’s the push needed.

I hope this won’t have any negative effects on PostgreSQL which will hopefully not have to cater the MySQL refugees now.

I am a bit out of the loop in terms of RDBMS history, what do you mean by MySQL refugees?

MySQL refugees = those who ran to MariaDB when MySQL was bought by 'Orrible and now need another new home. Accidentally, PostgreSQL has grown support for some of MySQL on recent versions.

Oracle is such a terrible company for their customers it makes a ton of sense to try to get them to switch to a less abusive company

Some of our customers rely on Oracle’s database system, because history. Sadly, we can’t teach them.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod ,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

True, and I keep those folks in my prayers.

But if you’re on MySQL it’s a lot less of a lift to switch to MariaDB than it is to go to Postgres, even if Postgres is better in some ways.

I rewrote the last remaining MySQL-based software of mine this year because I didn’t want to have MariaDB just for this one tool. Everything else had already been migrated. PostgreSQL is much faster in my tests.

My coworker used to work with Oracle at his last job, and he took an architect position at my company near the start of development. There’s a reason we use Postgres at our org…
