PostgreSQL VS MySQL

While both Postgres and ClickHouse serve different purposes, the key distinction lies in how they handle replication and sharding. Postgres is primarily designed for transactional workloads (OLTP), where data consistency and durability are prioritized. On the other hand, ClickHouse is tailored for analytical workloads (OLAP), and optimized for high-speed querying and large-scale data analysis.

For your information, the tuplesort.c module flags when the Sort algorithm will use disk by setting the state to SORTEDONTAPE at this line. Disk interactions is handled by the logtape.c module.

This error happens when using a relational database, like PostgreSQL (one of the most popular, and advanced open-source SQL databases on the market).

This tutorial is going to use Postgres for its database because it is well battle-tested, but you're going to use the Prisma ORM to abstract away the database layer. This gives you the flexibility to use a variety of databases, and simplifies the API that you use to interact with it.

Yes, it's a balancing act. I think it's better to have safer defaults here, not prioritizing extra performance. People who are concerned with performance to the degree where checksums would matter need to consult configuration anyway (in many aspects, not only this one) and can disable this specific thing easily.

For the reference, change is in https://github.com/postgres/postgres/commit/04bec894a04c (so should land in PostgreSQL 18 in a year, unless it will get reverted for some reason).

PostgreSQL, commonly referred to as Postgres, is a powerful, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for its robustness, extensibility, and standards compliance. It was introduced in 1986 by Michael Stonebraker and his team at the University of California, Berkeley, as part of the POSTGRES project, which aimed to address some of the limitations of existing database systems at the time.

When building web applications, authentication is almost always a core requirement. I needed something simple and secure that would let me get started quickly on new projects without over-complicating the setup. My goal was to have a solution that's easy to implement, handles email verification out of the box, and just works. In this post, I'm sharing how to build a straightforward magic link authentication system using Next.js, Auth.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Resend. It's a powerful yet simple solution that accomplishes exactly what I needed, and I hope it'll be useful for your projects too.

One of the most famous examples is MariaDB, a fork of MySQL. When Oracle acquired MySQL back in 2009, concerns arose about the future of the database under a corporate umbrella and while MySQL has remained open source, the idea of it living under Oracle's roof was enough to push some of the original creators to fork an alternative that still lived within the developer community. During the early stages of MariaDB, it was used as a drop-in replacement that promised to remain open and community-driven. Being able to simply switch from MySQL to MariaDB with minimal effort made adopting their product easy. Fast forward to today, MariaDB is widely adopted and continues to evolve independently from its ancestor. With the community driving the success, MariaDB has been adopted as the default database in major Linux distributions, including Debian, RHEL, CentOS, openSUSE, and Fedora.

PHP is commonly paired with MySQL, one of the most widely used open-source relational database management systems, to handle data with speed and efficiency in both small and large-scale projects.

When looking for something more dynamic, I initially though about using Plume, since it's easy to integrate with some applications I plan to deploy later, but unfortunately it's not well maintained anymore. As Ghost or Wordpress seem overkill, I ended up opting for the conveniences of WriteFreely: it lets me create and edit posts in-place, with Markdown support and no need to upload new files. However, that comes with a cost: it requires a MySQL[-compatible] database

(At first we're using a PostgreSQL image from the official DockerHub repository, but different databases such as MySQL/MariaDB or MongoDB will follow a similar pattern)

Below we have a implementation of MySQL 8.0 container, that is a external dependency of this project, and the boot of Symfony kernel, creation of database and schema.

It's also worth mentioning that Perseid provides out-of-the-box support for React, VueJS, Svelte, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Express and Fastify.
