sql_mode=ludicrous - Richard Bensley - MariaDB Server Fest 2020

My motto has always been “SQL Frights and ACID delights”. In this talk I want to take you on a tour on some useful, underused, or unknown features in MariaDB and it’s various engines which I have used to solve real world problems in a variety of different industries. It’s going to be a rollercoaster of emotions from jaw-droppingly useful to outright terrifying examples you can walk away with to either impress or scare your Senior DBAs or CTO with.
