@samlambert Insights on all platforms is built upon the shoulders of MySQL Enterprise Monitor, and it pushing query insights data in to performance schema. Pour one out for MEM. 🍻

Feynman touched on this in : The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist In the third lecture he talks about the idea that science has a responsibility to challenge unreasoned belief systems and champion the value of doubt. Where he suggests that despite technological advancements, humanity still lives in an "unscientific age" where many people readily accept unproven ideas and are susceptible to being fooled by those who project false certainty.

« In recent years, normal people have gotten more sceptical regarding scientists in general, particularly vivid examples include Covid 19 and climate change. As a scientist myself, I understand this development and do not think of it as irrational. [...] Scientists produce systematically and strongly biased output. My sense is that many people are well-aware of this bias from the way they see scientists use framing to vilify valid arguments, fail to address obvious concerns, or employ double standards. Hence, people know that it is not optimal for them to take what scientists say at face value. Instead, they must factor out the scientist’s bias. Because this is very difficult and costly to do, it can be optimal to just completely disregard everything scientists say and instead rely on personal experience or discussions with friends. » (Laurenz Guenther)

@kastauyra I agree, but I’ve rarely seen any mention of tools and how they clean up the database mess 🙂

To run a database in production, you need robust tools and they should be open source. They can never cover all the use cases that people face in the real world, open sourcing them allows the users to extend them and contribute back. The tools are the unsung heroes, people seem to focus on the database attributes only.

@sunbains @tzkb Up until MySQL 3.23 there was only the ISAM engine, no transactional engines. In 3.23 the engine interface was added to include BDB (later removed) for a transactional engine, with MyISAM added as the new default from an extended ISAM. All other engines extended from there...

@tzkb I don’t know the background and historical reasons. I was part of Oracle/InnoDB from the start and not MySQL 🙂. @MarkLeith do you know? Or, somebody who would know?

MySQLだとMyISAMとInnoDB、PostgreSQLだとTAMを使ったあれこれ。プラガブルなストレージエンジンって商用DBだと何があったっけ。Oracle Database In-Memoryとか?

@gwenshap My point is - whatever the language, whatever the app - if the task involved requires a lot of interaction with the data, then you want to run your code close to the data. PL/SQL can be a drop-in fix to lots of problems created where people didn't understand this axiom. 2/2
