If you care about supporting open source software, and still use MySQL in 2026, you should switch to MariaDB like so many others have already done.\n

    MySQL always sucked ass.

    PostgreSQL went in a different direction, started with best support of the SQL standard, then optimized everything to make it fast.

    Postgres has/had the best SQL standard support out of every server, open-source or not.

    MySQL was at the other end, only started catching up after Oracle bought it.
