mariadb is a good database (works) but i hear postgres is faster. my queries are simple though so why bother changing what works.

hope you've intenalised the 1000 weird mysql edge cases
here's a bunch of them from someone who likes mysql http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/ricksrots
eg

quote:

⚈ OR may be very inefficient; turn into UNION.

ah yes, good query optimiser we have here

It doesn't matter which one you use because your boss wants to store every single hit to the website in a single 300gb table with no index.

*adds index to speed up reporting, website slows to a crawl due to huge index size*

it's un loving believable the amount of hoops you have to jump through to get that DB to work well enough to be considered production ready. but hey i guess if you hate stored procedures and replication because you see those features as just unnecessary and for spergs only, then go loving nuts

isn't it just?? getting a slave up on a large existing database is a huge pain in the dick that involves special percona perl tools that barely work and non trivial amounts of downtime due to needing a long global lock on the master. or even more downtime if you do it hte official way and shutdown the master and rsync the data the slave

i had some troubles with a percona cluster today, because selinux was enabled. the official advice from percona was "just disable selinux lol". php level garbage.
