@methane PTAL

[methane]

We won't officially support TiDB. I don't want to maintain a list of products that have MySQL compatible protocols.

We won't officially support TiDB. I don't want to maintain a list of products that have MySQL compatible protocols.

Why Google CloudSQL and Sphinx can be in the list？TiDB is similar to them, TiDB is a NewSQL database that supports Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) workloads. It is MySQL compatible.

[methane]

I am saying that I want to remove them too. But CloudSQL is more similar to MySQL than NoSQL that just using MySQL protocol.

Hi methane, I can understand your position. However, TiDB is an open source project too, just like your Go SQL driver and MySQL. If you can help us out just a little bit by putting our name on this list, it would really mean a lot to us. =)

You probably don't need more popularity for your driver, but we do intend to highlight your Go SQL driver on our developer portal as the Go driver to use for our product.

Thank you for what you do!

If you can help us out just a little bit by putting our name on this list, it would really mean a lot to us. =)

You are underestimating our efforts. Putting the name is not just putting the name. It will make TiDB users ask help on our issue tracker although I never used TiDB.

[ghimsim]

Hi methane, thank you for helping us understand your concerns! To give you a peace of mind, we are willing to help out in any way to maintain the driver's compatibility with TiDB. For instance, we can designate a few TiDB engineers to review any PRs you wish for us to review, and we can provide resources to maintain a better CI env for your repo. And if there are any questions about TiDB, we are willing to commit resources to respond to them as soon as possible. Hope this will reassure you about including TiDB on the list.

Here's our article about using your Go driver with TiDB: https://docs.pingcap.com/appdev/dev/for-go-sql-driver-mysql

We have a small team in Japan and we would be happy to meet up with you in-person or online to discuss how to better cooperate together on this project. Also, we will have a meetup in Japan soon and would love to invite you to it.

@ghimsim Would you create a pull request that runs test this driver with TiDB on GitHub Action?

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit-tests for this file.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository from git and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

CodeRabbit Commands (invoked as PR comments)

• @coderabbitai pause to pause the reviews on a PR.
• @coderabbitai resume to resume the paused reviews.
• @coderabbitai review to trigger a review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository.
• @coderabbitai resolve resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments.
• @coderabbitai help to get help.

Additionally, you can add @coderabbitai ignore anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed.

CodeRabbit Configration File (.coderabbit.yaml)

• You can programmatically configure CodeRabbit by adding a .coderabbit.yaml file to the root of your repository.
• The JSON schema for the configuration file is available here.
• If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/coderabbit-overrides.v2.json
