[Maria-discuss] Flashback (MDEV-10459) bikeshedding a name
During the MariaDB Developers Meetup last month we deferred deciding on a name for Flashback - a rewinding of database state using binary logs applied in reverse. It is described in MDEV-10459 (https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-10459). If you have an opinion as to what name to choose follow the link below to start the survey. Thank you for your participation! The survey closes at the end of this month. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/T8JVPR3 Results so far: https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-DPMRQV9N
Hi Daniel, Thanks for creating this. One comment. I have selected other and have added "binlog revert". It looks like, when looking at the results, others don't see new suggestions. Best Ralf Daniel Black <daniel.black@au1.ibm.com> schrieb am Mi. 2. Nov. 2016 um 01:25:

It looks like it was a pro feature to enable the responses here to automaticly be added to the survey. I'll periodly manually edit the survey myself to ensure that good ideas like "binlog revert" appear in the list for everyone. Multiple responses are allowed btw.
Just a thought: If we try to use same name/term across different DB platform avoid confusions for folks who actually uses down the line. For example: PARTITION is more or less same across all DB Platforms, so anyone moving from one DB platform to another, easily they adopt to the terms and concepts since they are similar naming. But if we use different name like COMPARTMENT or VOLUME or something similar for PARTITION then it creates confusion. I am not sure whether ANSI SQL Standards body will govern the naming standards for the DB technologies to avoid ending up naming differently for each DB technologies. For example: Oracle's START WITH CONNECT BY is ANSI's RECURSIVE SUB QUERY FACTORING or so. We have to use search engine -> PARTITION Equivalent in Mysql. Anyway, that's what we do when we try to understand what is the equivalent of one DB term in another DB. Off topic: For SYSDATE equivalent of Oracle in Mysql, I end up get multiple way to get SYSDATE. Not sure why we introduce that many options to confuse. I understand its due to some backward compatibility or so. Anyway, if we use the term FLASHBACK, more or less, everyone in DB technologies understand what it means. This is just my humble thought. BTW, I will go ahead and vote for FLASHBACK. Thanks! On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 6:11 AM, Daniel Black <daniel.black@au1.ibm.com> wrote:
