Depends on the underlying database, and you'd have to test your query to have any level of certainty.

That being said, query planning is generally where Oracle/MSSQl outshine MySQL/Postgres, especially for pruning unnecessary joins. BigQuery is great at it IME.

I'm not sure either of those examples is true. For servers, Linux won, but that's just a fraction of OS usage. MySQL still has much higher usage rates than Postgres, particularly at massive scale, so calling that "won" is premature at best

I very much appreciate your deep knowledge of MySQL, and willingness to share amidst the sea of postgres fans. There's a reason both are popular and widely used.

Anecdata: I'm a white American who grew up in China and it didn't impact me, nor in my experience most of the kids in my international school. Single adults who go back however are more likely to self select based on attraction.
