Because my choice was not ideologically driven and when I created HiveSQL it was MS-SQL which was my area of expertise.
What I provide with HiveSQL is a service and my goal is that the service provided is reliable, available and efficient. HiveSQL is a complex infrastructure with Hive nodes, a backup system, a firewall, performance monitoring, etc... it's not just a database choice.
When I did, many told me I was crazy to publicly open access to a database server to potentially thousands of users. Several other similar open-source initiatives have also emerged. I'll let you guess the rest of the story.
Do you consider it bad because it's not decentralized? Set up your own "decentralized" infrastructure and prove that you are a reliable player over time as I did for years.
Yeah - HiveSQL is a service that works well for years
There is nothing "bad" to use MS SQL instead of an open source product.
My friend, no, you don't understand what i mean.
It is not about rivaling us mutually, and is not about that i think is wrong what you are doing - the job you are providing is excellent, therefore i support your proposal, i voted your proposal for HiveSQL.
But, just to slowly start to rethinking for the future, to not relaying on some of big tech company, because, we see, they can from one day to another change their policies, and we are screwed then.
And no, I have not such expertise in DB like you have, and I don't have better infrastructure as yours, this is not what i meant with this.
Hope you understand, again, what i meant.
