We're using Go to write Dolt, the world's first and only version-controlled SQL database. dolt loves go As a database program, Dolt has to deal with lots of large data objects. Oftentimes, these large …

Here at DoltHub, we tell users "Dolt is a drop in replacement for MySQL". We're also quick to remind users that "There is no MySQL code in Dolt". Dolt is built from the storage engine up to be MySQL-compatible…

Spotify Wrapped popularized a version of the "year in review" format. Now everything is "wrapped". Why can't Dolt be wrapped too? Turns out, Dolt can be wrapped! We're ripping off Spotify's gimmick (but not…

A demonstration, complete with sample code, on how to use Dolphie with Dolt, the world's first version controlled SQL database.

Four years ago DoltDB was about 15x slower than MySQL. At the time, we faced skepticism regarding Prolly-tree performance and scalability. Last year, the first production-grade DoltDB aspired to ~2x read laten…

We're using Go to write Dolt, the world's first and only version-controlled SQL database. dolt loves go Like any Go program that deals with data, we often find ourselves in need of high-level functions…

We're excited to announce that CI testing on pull requests is now live on DoltHub.com.

Dolt now supports caching_sha2_password auth, which you may need if you want to use the MySQL-9.0 innovation release.

Hot on the heels of my overview of Dolt configuration, I'm going to do a deep dive on config.yaml, the configuration file for a Dolt SQL Server. As I was writing the configuration overview, I realized our docu…

Dolt is a decentralized database. In the past ten years or so decentralization has gone through a few hype cycles. I think we're in a pro-decentralization hype period right now. Decentralization hype tracks th…

As Doltgres is being rapidly developed, we needed Postgres-specific solutions to certain version control features that are implemented in Dolt. This blog walks through how we converted MySQL-flavored system t…

Last time, I discussed a specific design problem that I encountered while writing generic code in Go, and how I eventually solved it. I was proud that I had found a solution, although less proud that it wasn't…

Dolt configuration is a bit of a mess. To start, it's a union of Git and MySQL styles of configuration. Then, Dolt specific configuration is sprinkled on top. It's been on our list for a long time to consolida…

Dolt is the world's first and only version controlled SQL database. Dolt is fully MySQL-compatible. You connect to it with any MySQL client. Some MySQL clients require connection authentication using Transport…

The Dolt Workbench illustrates how much better the workbench experience can be when using a version controlled database. Find out how and why in this blog.
