I'm surprised that Interbase/Firebird seems to be entirely omitted from this despite pioneering the MVCC approach.

OP here, I acctually had Firebird listed in some version of my draft, but had to make a natural cut somewhere.

I see. I guess that makes sense, popularity-wise. I imagine the results were in the vicinity of PostgreSQL anyway, considering the similarity of approaches.

I had to make a cut - and that's also a reason why etcd got mentioned - focused on what most people today know.

but that approach doesn't teach "most of your audience" something new that they didn't know before

well, let's say it depends what audince. This particular topic came as part of talks I deliver on Postgres internals and my webinars. Same story. Again and again.

But I do get the point. Here the goal was - there's no perfect solution. Just characteristics to be aware of.

Given the anti-LLM sentiment here I need to get offline and not get affected by it.
