Why are people install MySQL at all? Why not MariaDB? Or PostgreSQL? Probably for the same reason a lot of MySQL 5.5 installations still exist today.Why are people installing mysql57-server and not mysql80-server? Just curious.

Look in /var/db/mysql/$(hostname).err for clues why it's not working.It installed but when i try to start the server `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start` it says starting mysql but then I can't connect
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
that error means the server's not running and `ps auxw|grep mysql` doesn't show any running processes
I was wondering if maybe something was wrong with version 8.0, since people seem to be avoiding it. Or if maybe people are using version 5.7 because some other software depends on that specific version.Why are people install MySQL at all? Why not MariaDB? Or PostgreSQL?

Probably the main reason why people have 5.7, at least on FreeBSD, is because it's the default.I was wondering if maybe something was wrong with version 8.0, since people seem to be avoiding it. Or if maybe people are using version 5.7 because some other software depends on that specific version.
