> performance needs a very careful eye
Clearly implying that performance doesn't require a careful eye on MySQL. Which is utterly idiotic and wrong.
Though you've proven yourself sufficiently dishonest that I'm sure you'll pretend that you never implied any such thing.

Which is really misleading, because it ships with most of that stuff off. It's not possible to turn it off, it's HARD TO TURN IT ON.
Seriously. Try making MySQL treat your data the way you'd expect (always throwing errors in situations where something that's invalid by the SQL standard has happened). It's hard. And if you said 'just turn on strict mode', then you've clearly never tried to catch ALL of the edge cases.
MySQL is a horrible tool.
The only good thing about MySQL is that it's such a piece of shit that a whole generation of devs decided to try to experiment with NoSQL tools because they didn't understand the difference between 'things that suck about MySQL' and 'things that suck about SQL'. That ignorance has spawned some interesting projects.
I didn't put a single damned word in your mouth. You're just another pathetic little jerk who communicates stupid and wrong shit and then tries to use pedantry to pretend that you didn't do that.
Sorry bro, but you suck at logic, communication, and life. Peace.
