    We actually wrote another blog about this because I had the same question. I am the CEO of DoltHub so I can have my engineers write stuff to explain it to me :-) https://www.dolthu…

    Coming soon we'll have the ability to replicate a branch HEAD to MySQL as well.

    Version Control is not the type of thing "mainstream DBs would adopt". We needed to build a custom storage engine to make querying and diffing work at scale: https://docs.dolthub.c…

    Most direct users of go-mysql-server use it to test Golang MySQL interactions without needing a running server. We here at DoltHub use it to provide SQL to Dolt.

    Queries on DoltHub need to go to S3 to fetch all the chunks. This only works for databases < 1GB generally. You will get much better performance if you clone the database locally.

    If you clone the database locally it will work. It takes a long time to clone though.

    This is just a database of hospital price URLs. If you want actual prices we have that as well but it's from the beginning of the year: https://www.dolthub.com/repositories/dolthub…

    Creator here. It's slower. This is `sysbench` Dolt vs MySQL. https://docs.dolthub.com/sql-reference/benchmarks/latency We've dedicated this year to performance with a storage engin…

    Creator here. You only connect with a MySQL-client. There is no MySQL code in it. Here's the story if you're curious. https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2022-03-28-have-postgres-want-d..…
