  • MySQL vs MongoDB - Visual Design with Real Data Models
    1 project | dev.to | 13 Jun 2025
    DbSchema is not a database itself. It’s a visual tool that connects to your MySQL or MongoDB server and works directly with your database. Once connected, it shows you the real structure of your data - the tables or collections, the columns or fields, and even the relationships between them. You can explore the data, edit the schema, and understand your database more clearly, all in one place.
  • Database Sharding vs Partitioning: What’s the Difference?
    3 projects | dev.to | 26 May 2025
    MySQL MySQL natively supports partitioning, but sharding needs add-ons like Vitess to run platforms like YouTube.
  • Open Source: A Goldmine for Indie Hackers
    6 projects | dev.to | 6 May 2025
    Open source software is built on the democratic idea that everyone should be able to inspect and contribute to the source code. Major projects like Linux, WordPress, and the Apache HTTP Server have shown how collaborative efforts can produce robust, scalable solutions. Indie hackers, often working with limited budgets, gain access to highly dependable tools such as Python and MySQL, which were originally developed and maintained by global communities.
  • How I Got x311 Faster Analytics on 110M Rows
    6 projects | dev.to | 6 May 2025
    Hey everyone! I recently got fed up with waiting minutes for simple analytics queries to finish, so I threw together a little demo to see how SingleStore, MySQL, and PostgreSQL stack up against each other on a 110 million‑row banking transactions dataset.
  • Every Database Will Support Iceberg — Here's Why
    10 projects | dev.to | 22 Apr 2025
    Traditional databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. — store their data in proprietary formats. That format is optimized for that engine and can’t be directly accessed by anything else. Even if something like Trino can connect to Postgres, it’s still running queries through Postgres itself, not reading its storage directly. You’re just a client.
  • Introducing Iceberg Table Engine in RisingWave: Manage Streaming Data in Iceberg with SQL
    5 projects | dev.to | 9 Apr 2025
    Propagating changes from operational databases (Postgres, MySQL, etc.) via CDC into Iceberg requires careful handling. Since Iceberg tables typically lack primary key enforcement at the storage layer, updates and deletes must often be implemented via equality deletes: deleting the old row version and inserting the new one. A streaming ingest engine must reliably:
  • Database Protocols Are Underwhelming
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Mar 2025
    MySQL X protocol solves some of these

    * Notifies a client when a session variable has changed. Though I haven't used it so possibly not implemented.

    https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/trunk/plugin/x/pr...

    * Allows sending parameterised SQL and a collection of values together without preparing.

    Additionally, Beego includes a robust Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) that simplifies database interactions. Instead of writing complex SQL queries, developers can manipulate data using Go objects while the ORM handles the translation to and from the database. It supports popular database systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
  • Unveiling the Nokia Open Source License: A New Era in Fair Code Licensing
    2 projects | dev.to | 12 Mar 2025
    Dual Licensing Potential: The possibility of dual licensing under this framework opens a discussion for projects that want the best of both worlds—free community use combined with a commercial licensing option. This approach is similar to dual licensing strategies seen in other successful projects, such as those offered by MySQL.
