MySQL 8.0
summary
MySQL 8.0 adds concrete, testable features not marketing fluff: window functions and CTEs for ranking, lag/lead and recursive tree queries; role-based user management and utf8mb4 default for emoji and accents; contention aware transactions claiming ~5x lower latency under load; generated defaults (UUID into BINARY) and a demoed instant ADD COLUMN that completes on a 50M-row table in ~0.26s; invisible and descending indexes flip optimizer plans instantly; check constraints and binary logging-on-by-default enable safer upgrades.
