PostgreSQL vs MySQL: The Breakdown

PostgreSQL vs MySQL: Which database is right for you?

In this video, we break down the key differences between these two popular SQL databases:
• Shared SQL foundation and basic features
• PostgreSQL's advanced capabilities as an ORDBMS
• MySQL's simplicity and strengths in OLTP scenarios
• Performance considerations and use cases for each
• ACID compliance and concurrency handling

As a developer with experience using both databases, I'll guide you through their strengths, limitations, and real-world applications. By the end, you'll understand which database aligns best with your project requirements and personal coding philosophy.

Talking about MySQL without mentioning the existence of MariaDB is a crime.

For the core of the SQL functionality both have the same functionality. I'm doing a price robot in PostgreSQL these days.

FDW and procedural calls are way nicer in psql. Not to mention defining your own types; did I hear ATCG w/ neg and positive for each? I quit using MySQL in 2005, made the move to psql, did not look back.

In my opinion the stock videos are absolutely useless regardless of the context and even if it's just the creator and the visuals then the content is still good.
I have never seen someone request adding those stock footage in videos lol
What's more is that it will save you a lot of time that you usually spend on editing the main content, searching up the right stock video and then adding it as per the context, then to wait until the render is complete
Dropping it sounds like win win to me

By Odins bushy eyebrows, it's pronounced My Ess Queue Elle... At least that is how we pronounce it in Sweden and the guy who came up with the name speaks Swedish.
