A few weeks ago I was remembering an old PC game I played in my younger years and that I'd love to wander through again, listening to the soundtrack, seeing the colorful cities. On the game's subreddit, the community was talking about creating a spiritual successor and then my brain took a weird shortcut: What if I could help them speed up the development by lending the remaining tokens of my dail

So you've outgrown MySQL. Maybe you need better JSON support, real window functions, or you're moving to a managed cloud database that defaults to Postgres. Whatever the reason — MySQL to PostgreSQL migration trips up almost everyone the first time. The two dialects look similar but behave very differently under the hood.
