> All that doesn't mean it was probably a terrible design back when it was written. We're talking database tech of two decades ago, when XP had just come out and was considered a memory hog because it required 128MB of RAM to work well.
A lot of this stuff was invented in the 70s, and was quite sophisticated by 2000. It just wasn't free, rather quite expensive. MySQL was pretty braindead at the time, and my recollection is that even postgres was not that hot either. We've very lucky they've come so far.
