Best quote: Larry Ellison about MySQL- Dec. 10, 2020. "We introduced several new OCI managed services during the quarter. The most interesting of these new OCI managed services is for the popular open-source database MySQL, featuring an all-new Oracle developed, massively parallel query accelerator called HeatWave. MySQL plus HeatWave processes queries hundreds of times faster. Seriously, hundreds of times faster than the current version of MySQL by itself and other MySQL compatible databases such as Amazon’s Aurora.
MySQL plus HeatWave is so much faster, so much easier to use and less expensive than Postgres, Redshift, Snowflake or any other database available on Amazon AWS.
The amazing thing about HeatWave is that you don’t have to move your data out of MySQL and build a separate data warehouse to get the huge performance gains. You simply take any existing MySQL or Aurora database, run that exact same database on the new MySQL version that includes HeatWave. And immediately, your queries run hundreds of times faster. You don’t have to change a single line of code. It can’t get any easier to use than that.”
