   "It's stuck as web development language due to design constraints" PHP comes with a CLI SAPI that allows you to use it on the command line just like python, ruby etc and has done so since version 4.2.0 (released April 2002).

   Satire aside. My point was the ridiculousness of it. What's next, patents covering putting data centers in space, under the sea or under stairs etc..

   Be aware that when using text or blob types, these only contribute ~12bytes to the total row length limitation of 65kb.

   I agree, and it's unfortunate, but you also see this happen in the programming language community as well, just look at the wealth of perpetuated ignorance around PHP for instance.

    They're doing all kinds of awesome and the greater community is starting to see this, which is evident with Archlinux* for example whom has dropped MySQL in favour of MariaDB. Slowly but surely MySQL will fall to the waysides, which I

    You should know that the fork of MySQL, MariaDB, addressed hash joins well over a year ago: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/block-based-join-algorithms/#block...

    Both comments are speculative. Are people, in general, aware that MySQL employs a pluggable storage engine? I wonder if much of the confusion about MySQLs abilities stems from arguments from people aware of it against those that have only

    Deadlocks have little to do with queries and everything to do with transactions. They happen for a very good reason and never happen "randomly". I assume you are using the innodb storage engine: http://dev.mysql.com&#x

    I've written just as complicated joins with MySQL as I have Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server etc etc all with very similar performance. Can you provide/email me with some examples of what you are finding a "disaster" and I

    I've been using MySQL for over 12 years. It's easy to set up, easy to get started with, and works very beautifully. Zero benefit, really, do you have to be so insulting?

    Nothing wrong with that attitude at all! Especially when backed up with code. Keep up the good fight .. but I would suggest you implement this as an extension.

    I've been using PHP for over 12years now. I even attempted what you are doing once, but via an extension, but quickly realised I was simply complicating things in some misguided attempt to fix which wasn't broken.

    It's as efficient as you can possibly get with PHP .. how is that ugly? Ugly because it doesn't remind you of Python, Ruby or whichever language you prefer?

    I've never really understood the incessant need to replicate idioms from other languages on top of the already existing idioms in PHP.

    Are you sure this is a direct injection? I'm seeing the injector directly behind the inlet valves which would make it multi point.
