Maybe you just have nothing to say and don't recognize that such behavirs are clearly wrong, that failing silently for a database is a case of bad design, and MySQL is just technically inferior to Postgres. Or are we missing something?
- rimantas 16y agoYes you are. The first thing you are missing that such behaviors are configurable: you can choose whether to fail silently or get an error. The second thing you are missing is the reason such behavior exist in the first place — namely, there are usage scenarios when it is preferable. Having ability to choose which trade-offs to have is in no way technical inferiority.
