After being « gone fishin' » during summertime I just updated my website for the releases that happened during that time: * MariaDB 11.8 and 12.0 * Oracle 23.9 * Db2 12.1.2 All charts on modern-sql.com and use-the-index-luke.com are updated.

Just updated modern-sql.com and use-the-index-luke.com for MariaDB 11.7. One enhancement is the FROM-clause column renaming, as described in this article: modern-sql.com/caniuse/E051-09

A Christmas present for SQL standard lovers? Part 1 is available for free again. standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyA… The last edition that was available for free was 2011, AFAIK. And that disappeared when 2016 was released. Merry Christmas :)

Would you miss Apache Derby when I would remove it from the charts on modern-sql.com?

While the BMP covers the need of most living languages, it lacks support for symbols that made it into informal language (emojis). Always test your code & engine with non-BPM characters. Ideally one which needs four bytes in the UTF-8 encoding. Here is one for easy c&p: 💩

SQL's data types CHAR and VARCHAR are about characters. Sounds like a no-brainer, doesn't it? Well, a consequence is that the number in the parenthesis refer to characters, not bytes. Unfortunately, some SQL engines don't get that right—causing major confusion among users.
