Re:Extend MySQL with Rust on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @12:49PM (#48372772)
There is now a Rust SDK for the VillageSQL fork of MySQL that allows you to write extensions in Rust, just like pgx/pgrx in PostgreSQL.

Show HN: Extend MySQL with Rust

MySQL has limited extensibility via plugins and components. We created a fork of MySQL with a PostgreSQL-like extension framework (VillageSQL).Until now, all extension development was done in C++ but we know LOTS of PostgreSQL extension is done in Rust via pgrx etc.We built a Rust SDK that allows you to natively extend MySQL with custom types and functions and a subset of the PostgreSQL...

Founder here. Thanks for spending time with VillageSQL. Love all the feedback.
Re:Show HN: VillageSQL = MySQL and Extensions on Tuesday February 10, 2026 @12:59PM (#46963987)
Ha! Founder here. Tell me why? Trying to make it easy, not be terrifying! I think the embed generation saves folks some steps.
Re:Show HN: VillageSQL – A Fork of MySQL with Extensions on Friday February 06, 2026 @12:18PM (#46915494)
Founder and CEO here. Great question. Right now, since you are linking MySQL files that means that all the extenions need to be GLPv2 or compatible license. In the future, we are hoping to have a stable SDK that is indepedent of the MySQL files so that if you run it out of process, that would give more licensing options to folks. There is a proof of concept of an out-of-process mode for the extensions in the alpha, but we haven't spent much time on proving it out.

We built VillageSQL because we love MySQL, but we’ve watched the ecosystem stagnate while PostgreSQL flourished with extensions like pgvector and pg_textsearch. We wanted to give MySQL that same extensibility so teams don’t have to migrate databases just to keep building nowadays. VillageSQL is an open-source, tracking fork of MySQL that is a drop-in replacement and adds a true extension...
