Theory: PostgreSQL vs MySQL - Standard Compliance
The query
SQL
-- Q: Which is more SQL standard compliant?
-- A: PostgreSQL is known for being strictly compliant with ANSI SQL standards.
-- MySQL historically focused on speed and simplicity over standard compliance,
-- often silently coercing data types (e.g., truncating strings instead of failing).
-- PostgreSQL will throw a strict error if data doesn't match constraints perfectly.Note
“PostgreSQL prioritizes Data Integrity above all else.
