What Is New in MySQL 8.2 (mysql.com)

Seems a rather threadbare update. A few notable improvements under the hood—which is good since they don't require code changes to see perf improvements—but no new functionality for querying that I can see.

It seems the difference in pace of improvement between MySQL and Postgres continues. The feature gap is widening.

For comparison, the Postgres 16 changes. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/release-16.html


Whats the bennefits of using mysql today when mariadb exists.


I am also interested in this and how the relationship is between those two. For example can we expect features that come to mySQL be merged into mariadb as well?


Oracle has put a TON of work into mysql over the last several years. Innodb group replication is a biggie, but not the only substantial improvement mysql has received over MariaDB.


But we see a large performance regression in MySQL 8 compared to 5.7 or any later MariaDB release.


Are there any articles you would recommend that cover this topic? Or are you just speaking from experience?
