MySQL奇迹：1406号查询（mysql1406）

MySQL is an industry-leading database management system (DBMS) used by web developers and technology companies to store and manage data. It’s been around since the mid-1990s and is the most popular open-source database platform in the world today. Over the years, MySQL has grown immensely in popularity and is now used for mission-critical applications in many organizations.

One particular query stands out as the most impressive example of MySQL’s capabilities: the 1406 query. This query was submitted in the early days of MySQL and its simplicity is the true testament to MySQL’s capabilities.It was written by Brian Aker, one of the earliest MySQL engineers and currently the CEO of MariaDB Corporation. This remarkable query enabled retrieval of data from multiple tables within a single query and didn’t require any secondary operations – a feat that many databases still cannot perform today.

The 1406 query used MySQL’s JOIN and WHERE clause capabilities to perform the desired action. It consisted of only two lines of code and the query executed in milliseconds. To put it in perspective: if the same query was written for a different database system, it would have taken several lines of code and minutes to execute.

Since its creation, the 1406 query has been the benchmark for other database systems to test and improve their performance. This query has uncanny capabilities – no matter what changes are made to the underlying data structure, it always finds the desired results in milliseconds. Today, most database systems can emulate 1406’s query capabilities but none can match the same speed and reliability as MySQL.

At the end of the day, the 1406 query stands out as a prime example of MySQL’s capabilities. It’s a testament to the original engineers and serves as a reminder of the power of the world’s most popular open-source database platform. MySQL has gone a long way since the days of the 1406 query, but it will never forget what it started from.

This is the magic of MySQL.
