Is this a MySQL specific problem? I have witnessed a few dead queries on Sybase / Oracle / etc
I don’t think its mysql specifically, but for some reason the worst systems I have used, all have mysql/mariadb as a database.
It seems shitty applications gravitate to mysql, use it poorly, then bring a bad name to mysql.
But given all my years of experience with it, MSSQL > Posgresql > Mysql > Oracle
I was a DBA for over 10 years. Postgresql is superior to mssql in most ways. Especially replication.
But that does not mean that mssql is bad. MySQL is, oracle is.
