It used to be true. Not so much anymore. Study the defaults on mysql 8.
- krageon 7y agoTo summarise: Broadly the grandparent is correct, but some of his problems have been addressed in a very new version of the database in question. Is that fair?
- grumpydba 7y agoMost of the "problems" also exist in enteprise scale database server such as sql server and sybase. If parent meant that sql server and sybase are no more than nosql data store, I beg to differ. Those issues have been "fixable" in innodb for years using flags. This is getting old. I think people come in here to have accurate information.

You've repeatedly dumped a long string of personal attacks based on statements of fact that were fundamented rather well, and in spite of your repeated appeals to authority you've failed or refused to comment on the technical aspects and decided to react with attacks and repeated assertions that in your eyes other alternatives are not perfect. Perhaps its high tine for you to step away from the keyboard and think about what you've been doing in this thread and how you've decided to portay yourself in this discussion.
