Is it just me or is Periscope allergic to saying what databases it supports? I can find nothing on the website, and I am really hesitant to sign up for more info once companies started actually calling my phone after I did that.

Also, none of those queries will work on MySQL.

I recognize the syntax in "date_trunc('day', created_at)::date as day,", namely the cast "::date", as PostgreSQL syntax. Could be something else as well but I've only seen it with PostgreSQL.

It's redshift, based on the contents of previous blogs.

The examples are either PostgreSQL or Amazon Redshift (which is based on the same syntax).

PostgreSQL or its derivatives.

The code would work on most engines that support CTEs, with some changes to the type casting syntax.

Thus most except MySQL.

They support Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server, Redshift, and Oracle I believe.

They also support MySQL. At least they did when I tired it some time ago.
