Not in around 15 years. You're thinking of when MyISAM was the default storage engine for MySQL. It has been InnoDB for over a decade. InnoDB is very reliable - I've never had a single data loss incident in all that time, and I've managed some very large (PB-scale) and active databases.
Postgres is definitely more difficult to administer.
- Symbiote 2y agoPeople are criticising decade-old releases of PostgreSQL, so it seems fair to compare them to similarly aged MySQL releases.
- yxhuvud 2y agoMySQL used to have horrible and very unsafe defaults for new installations that persisted well after the introduction of InnoDB. Those went unfixed for a very long time.
