PSA: if you use Claude Code and @planetscale and have the PlanetScale CLI installed, try this: claude mcp add --transport stdio -- planetscale pscale mcp server Then you can ask Claude Code questions about your databases.

Being knee-deep in Postgres, things I miss from MySQL: - B-tree table storage - Vitess - Undo log based MVCC - SHOW TABLES - Vitess - Buffer that doesn't rely on OS page cache - SHOW CREATE DATABASE But mostly, Vitess.

HNSW is a great algorithm for static datasets, particularly if they fit in RAM. But I think it sucks for a relational database and we can do much better. We've based our novel implementation on two papers from Microsoft Research, SPANN and SPFresh.

I'm stoked to showcase our implementation of vector search for PlanetScale. This is not a HNSW plug-in for MySQL (like pgvector, etc), it's a full fledged index managed by InnoDB that scales into terabytes of vector data.

Cities in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast are absolutely hemorrhaging people and they're all going to the Sun Belt cities. It's not rurals in these states losing major population it's the cities, the only county in WA to lose people was King!

I genuinely don't give a shit how much you SAY you care about climate change. If you support the policies that make it impossible to build clean energy, you're anti-climate and anti-science. This chart is humiliating for California Democrats.
