  • I just wait until db0 gets voted out, just for them to ignore it :D

    Jokes aside, that’s a very important instrument, which basically even democracies have, but gets abused by the people who have no balls to speak up. So I wonder how well this is going to work here. However, I trust db0 fully and know that their power comes from support and not by abusing the system.

    Thanks, db0, for your innovative approach and your dedication for the cause.














  • While there was a time, where those databases were considered “good”, they are only this famous because they have been free or open source for ages. Professors love open source stuff. This does not necessarily mean it is a good product in terms of database functionality. They have been stuck in the old age and simply get outperformed by almost anything. Professors also hate to change their slides and to learn something new. Because their priority is on functionality, not on real world use. And when you want to use a product in the real world, non-functional properties gain a lot of value. One of them is performance.

    If you want to have a fast, reliable, open source database, use ClickHouse.
