Sticking to the standard means very little to me, so -1 on this. If the
standard is reasonable and pertains to modern systems, sure, fine by me,
but I am not opposed to breaking standards, especially when they were
made by vendors 20 or more years ago and then bolted onto to fit needs.
Standards are good for portability, but in this day and age, one has to
wonder what, realistically, is the likelihood of writing portable
applications to run on multiple RDBMS. Standard and portable SQL is a
complete myth IMHO, and applications which try to be portable suffer
from poor performance by aiming at lowest common denominators.
Drizzle isn't really aimed at being the database for VARs or OEMs that
want a standards-compliant RDBMS on which to write some enterprise
application. Instead, it aims to tackle the specific problems of the
web and cloud environments.
