think of big features added to oracles Mysql in past two years. Thats ten releases: eight most recent 8.0.xx, and 8.1 and 8.2. what are they? are you using any? does it really not worry you at all?

youtube migrated away from vitess several years ago Mysql product is circling drain under oracles direction anymore. New 8.x “innovation” releases lack any important features. even Mariadb is out executing oracle despite being broke! Mysql

i pointed out no one in THIS THREAD said anything about “all in on github” and you replied linking to different thread from TWO YEARS AGO. deranged! who else posts i-told-you-so’s hundreds of times for two years shouting to void? is madness

so, because two people said they go all in on github on an hn thread TWO YEARS AGO , you feel the need to post public i-told-you-so hundreds of times ???!??? i am amazed @dang is ok with that, it seem completely deranged man, borderline har

why always repeatedly write the same comment about not going “all in on github” in these threads? what is goal of writing this hundred+ times? https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... i di

i strongly dislike planetscale and even i think this is not a useful or fair comparison .. sqlite works with local files, much simpler, no network latency, no HA

tracking access time (every read) is huge performance bottleneck. especially if reliably persisting this same reason why filesystems are often mounted with noatime attribute !

by throwusawayus 4y ago
article title is misleading! it is about planetscale only, not mysql in general. borderline click bait also posted by a former github person. not sure if poster is author or works at planetscale but a lot of ex github engg are there

by throwusawayus 4y ago
you just are not understanding my point, that does not mean i am acting in bad faith! jeez i originally said pricing for other managed sql dbs, not specifically “serverless” ones. we both know that is just a marketing term anyway with ACUs

by throwusawayus 4y ago
aurora serverless pricing is not based on cpu cycles . this is just not how ACUs actually work or scale or are priced, at all man anyway i gather the answer to my question is that no, there are no other examples of managed sql dbs that bil

what other managed sql DBs charge based on rows read, regardless of whether they are on-disk or in-memory? honest question. i am familiar with a number of managed mysql and postgres products, and none of them bill this way that i have ever

worse, theyre pricing is based on innodb_rows_read, even includes cached rows.. so every single ELT job costs $$$ based on how many rows you have, even if all in buffer pool cache already double-worse, innodb_rows_read known to be buggy! ex
