MySql support

Why is there no MySQL or MariaDB support?

[itxashancode]

Payload's core is built on Prisma, which doesn't support MySQL or MariaDB. The team chose PostgreSQL early on for its richer feature set and better fit with Payload's data modeling needs. You can track progress on MySQL support in the Prisma repo - once they add it, Payload could follow. For now, your options are either migrate to Postgres or fork Payload and swap the database layer yourself, but that's a big lift.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's Grammarly, they definitely use AI. It's all good. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just disappointed that there's no MySQL support in Payload yet :(

@itxashancode no, it's just no human on the internet ever admits being wrong - most people on here would rather go make a PR to Payload wiring it with Prisma, instead of acknowledging anything 😅
