Why are these academic types analyzing bugs in MySQL!? Is there a reason they didn't choose PostgreSQL, or is it just because these studies were all done in 2009 and 2010? Surely if the analysis would have been done in 2016 they would have picked a database with higher quality concurrency bugs to study.
- v4tk 10y agoPostgreSQL does not have bugs - there is even no bugtracker https://lwn.net/Articles/660468/ https://lwn.net/Articles/660468/ . It is hard to analyze bugs if there is no central place for them.
- jacquesm 10y ago> PostgreSQL does not have bugs What a nonsense. Postgres has over 14K issues listed against it, they just don't use a bug tracker, they use a mailing list instead. It's a holdover from the old days. https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-bugs/2016-07/ https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-bugs/2016-07/
- nl 10y agoYou mean like the bit where he says "That’s interesting, but it’s hard to tell from that if the results generalize to projects that aren’t databases, or even projects that aren’t MySQL." and then points to a study which finds the same kind of problems across a number of different projects?
