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.

So you've been using Dolt for a while, and you are ready to take the next step and use it in production. Whether you are running your production environment on prem, or in the cloud, there are several steps y…

Dolt is the world's first and only version-controlled SQL database. It's a SQL database that you can fork, clone, branch, merge, push and pull just like a Git repository. Like files in Git, tables and other …

I ran into a performance trade-off last week attempting to improve long-running queries by changing the ways rows are structured. A more general row interface increases memory overhead but lets us skip enco…

"Go is an incomplete language masquerading as a simple one." This comment on ycombinator lives rent-free in my head. Nothing before or since has captured my feelings on Go quite as succinctly. Take for i…

Get a glimpse into the design process for DoltHub's latest feature, continuous integration testing.

Dolt is the world's first and only version controlled SQL database. We've been iterating on the concept for over six years now. We're the world's experts in database version control. Along the way we've lea…

We are hard at work building Doltgres, the Postgres-compatible version of Dolt. Dolt is the world's first and only version-controlled SQL database and is MySQL compatible, and most of us at DoltHub are more …

Dolt was created to be the world's first truly version controlled database. We think it does a great job at that. And in the process of making Dolt, we realized that the same data structures that make Dolt fas…

DoltHub is HIPAA compliant. This blog will walk you through what HIPAA is, why it matters, and how we got certified.

Continuous integration (CI) testing on data is now possible on DoltHub. Read more to learn how to add CI to your database today.

Relational databases are an organizational step change improvement over flat files like Excel or JSON. Strict typing improves data quality and maintainability over time. Schema mutations, data versioning, l…

We are hard at work building Doltgres, the Postgres-compatible version of Dolt, the world's first and only version-controlled SQL database. We are planning a public Beta launch of Doltgres in the first quar…

Dolt is the only content addressed SQL database. Dolt uses specific algorithms to generate immutable content addresses for most internal objects in your database. This article explains how that works and how y…

String concatenation isn't the most elegant looking code: getFieldName := gf.tableName + "+" + gf.ColName But it's quite a bit faster than fmt.Sprintf, which arguably looks more organized: getFieldNa…
