Lmao he did it again
Hope he got another kid to name that next fork after.
He does!
Say hello to MaxDB!
From version 7.5 through version 7.6 onwards distribution of MaxDB (previously SAP DB) to the open source community was provided by MySQL AB, the same company that develops the open-source software database, MySQL. Development was done by SAP AG, MySQL AB and the open-source software community.
Wait, did I get his kids in the wrong order?
Uh oh…
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.
Wordpress
Yeah the Open Source version. I doubt that the hosted version is using that. Cloud providers have super fast DB’s that are basically compatible with the MySQL syntax
Nextcloud.
Though I think it has some level of support for postgres by now. I should check on that.
I use NextCloud w/ Postgres and it works completely fine.
Great. It wasn’t too long ago that MariaDb was still the “recommended” option.
It’s still “recommended” and pretty much every tutorial I see uses it, but Postgres seems to work just fine.
I just checked the docs for installation instructions, it didn’t seem to make a distinction anymore.
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.
The Go version?
Are you thinking of ownCloud Infinite Scale? NextCloud is still PHP.
Ah, yes. Thanks.
It’s worked on Postgres for several years now, and it’s the preferred and recommended backend for NC.
As someone who self-hosted it, I can’t say this is true.
The MySQL or MariaDB databases are the recommended database engines.
Huh. I figured they changed to PG since that’s what their AIO image is using, and having used both myself in regular baremetal installs, postgres is by far the better performing backend.
MySQL sucks, and almost everyone who willingly use it also sucks.
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.
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.
Depends. Is K1 a vulture?
Good news in furthering Postgres adoption I guess. I mean most stuff was going that way anyway, but this will likely speed things up.
If you needed a reason to switch to Postgres, there you go.
