Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it is unique to MySQL and SQLite. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, MySQL told people to just run queries. PHP encouraged the same.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it is unique to MySQL and SQLite. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, MySQL told people to just run queries. PHP encouraged the same. Every other database was competing on ability to run complex queries. And so it became common knowledge that applications written for MySQL didn't port well to, say, Oracle. Exactly because of this issue. Those applications and more like them are out there. And mostly expect to run on MySQL. So that use case has to be supported.
