Altman is a megalomanic psychopath, lying to steal even more money and break everything just to feel better about himself.
I learned that not too long ago, too.
I mean it surprised me, but there are many ways around that. May be less efficient, but you can always use string-to-array, or json, or copy more for CTE then work with inputs as a table.
Heh.

Yes, had those issues as well, though lately not a big corp, but mid-sized company.
One manager just wanted MySQL. We had trouble getting required performance from MySQL, when Postgres had good numbers. I had the app fully ready, just to be told no, you make it work in MySQL. So we dropped some 'useless stuff' like deferring flushing to disk and such.
I have to admit though, I've never admined the Oracle DB, but I did talk a lot with people who did.
I remember over 10 years ago discussing transactional DDLs as I heard Oracle does it, too, just to listen to 5 minute lecture about how it's nowhere near as simple.
Yeah, that was the goal.
First make it feature-complete document-oriented database, then make if peroformant.
And you can feel the benefits in every step of the way. Things just work, features actually complement each other... and there's always a way to make any crazy idea stick.
If you can, share your experience!
I also do finance, so if there is anything more to explore, I'm here to listen and learn.
I made several lengthy presentations about many features, mainly those that are/were missing in MySQL.
In short, MySQL (has been) shit since its inception, with insane defaults and lacking SQL support.
After Oracle bought it, it got better, but it's catching up with stuff that Postgres has had for 20+ years (in some cases).
Also, fuck Oracle, it's a shit company.
Edit: if I had to pick the best features I can't live without, it would be 'returning', copy mode and arrays
AI? Absolutely can be.
LLMs specifically? No thanks.
I mean, with mysql_fwd, I migrated the data quickly, and apart from manual 'on duplicate update' queries (or rare force index) it works the same.
