Is MySQL hitting a 30-year mid-life crisis or a second wind?
My 1st post @infoworld looks at the "stasis" in MySQL innovation. Perfect timing for the #FOSDEM crowd—are the announcements this week enough to close the gap with Postgres?

@czajkowski the biggest problem MySQL has, is the split with MariaDB and the fact both forks went in different directions.
Given that most distros ship MariaDB by default, I suspect many people are using that rather than MySQL.
Certainly most people I've run into who say they are using MySQL are actually using MariaDB. People colloquially seeing the two things as the same, holds both forks back.
