    MySQL belongs to Oracle. That’s literally all you need to.know in order to avoid it.

      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

        That is an insult to PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL was fully featured relational database even before it implemented SQL. It started much earlier tha MySQL.

        And MySQL didn’t have proper transactions or data integrity constraints (including foreign keys) for long time, while calling itself an ‘SQL database’.

        Postgres is basically an open source version of Oracle DB. Much more featureful than MySQL. I believe Oracle bought MySQL just to kill it.
