If you care about supporting open source software, and still use MySQL in 2026, you should switch to MariaDB like so many others have already done.\n

    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’.
