Comment on Things that don’t work well with MySQL’s FOREIGN KEY implementation

Comments

I will take another rare opportunity of anything MySQL ends up being on HN, Considering [1] mySQL v5.x will EOL this year. And MySQL 8.0 with EOL in 2026. Does anyone knows if MySQL 9.0 will come anytime soon?

only oracle knows. and they don’t share answer yet, on this site or any other

only public news so far is extremely brief twitter mention of future switch to separate LTS releases from feature releases

big picture, hard to see what would motivate them to major re-invest in current mysql product model! amazon, planetscale, and co all profit off of oracle’s mysql server development efforts. and oracle does not get anything in return

assume this why more and more mysql dev efforts go to saas-only product like “mysql heatwave”!
