i don`t know why, but many functions (of php for example) could be implemented easily, but why not implement it? there`s a sql 2000 standard or something like it to disallow this kind of functions? maybe we could create a plugin with many function native to mariadb, and set it on/off to allow a mysql compatibility
well, i tell you what happens finally * most users are not reading any manual * just develop by trial-and-error * starting using all that nice things * then they quit * the person taking their task in future needs to migrate * the application has a "vendor-lockin" and is not portable and no, i am not speaking for the developers i am speaking for myself after had to struggle way too often the last 10 years with not well planned software and the resulting upgrade / migration pains
