## Database Support
* MySQL 9+ is officially supported (Strict mode is not default).
* MariaDB 11+ is officially supported (Strict mode is default).
* PostgreSQL 14+ is best effort _as of writing_. (Please report any regressions).

Notice: We need to improve the ecosystem to test/validate the codebase to be database agnostic, but this will require considerable engineering effort. Thank you for your understanding.
