      I don’t think its mysql specifically, but for some reason the worst systems I have used, all have mysql/mariadb as a database.

      It seems shitty applications gravitate to mysql, use it poorly, then bring a bad name to mysql.

      But given all my years of experience with it, MSSQL > Posgresql > Mysql > Oracle

        I was a DBA for over 10 years. Postgresql is superior to mssql in most ways. Especially replication.

        But that does not mean that mssql is bad. MySQL is, oracle is.

      Usually DBMSs have some small capacity to handle requests in parallel so everything slows down, but work is still getting done.
