Except the person to whom I replied said to use traditional SQL databases:
> Traditional SQL databases end up being many times simpler in practice, and because of their inherent scaling limitations, much easier to manage. And most importantly: their implementations aren't buggy.
- 6nf 9y agoThey mean traditional SQL databases like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, Oracle etc. Not MySQL. MySQL has almost none of the important features of a real SQL database management system. Nobody should be using MySQL for anything.
- jjirsa 9y agoQuick, tell YouTube and Facebook they’ve been doing it wrong all along
- 6nf 9y agoThey are NOT using stock-standard MySQL and haven't done so for many years. If you are big enough to make your own programming languages the normal rules do not apply. And if you ask the Youtube team for a recommendation for your project, they will not point you to MySQL.
