One Giant Leap for SQL: MySQL 8.0 Released
This looks like a great place to tell you about the burning white hot rage I have for Debian after my difficulties with MySQL this past weekend.<p>I was working on script that builds a LEMP stack with Vagrant on a Debian box. And when the script was upgraded to use Debian Stretch, everything we did to customize MySQL configuration broke, and I spent many hours of anguish not knowing why.<p>Until I stumbled onto the fact that Debian decided that in version 9, they&#x27;d start installing MariaDB when you typed &quot;apt-get install mysql-server&quot;. I cannot fully explain the anger I have for this dark pattern: When I say &quot;install x&quot;, you should either install x or say you don&#x27;t have it, not install a competitor you think is close enough.
