Today's article is somewhat unusual, if only because instead of reviewing one project, we'll be comparing three projects at once, looking for the one with the most interesting bugs and - which is of particular interest - the one with the highest code quality. The projects we are going to review are Firebird, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. So let's get started: https://www.viva64.com/en/b/0542/

How is this useful information? Bugs are bugs. Why would I care how
bugs in app1 relate to app2 or app3? This seems like info sanitizer
and compiler author developers would want to know so they could flag
them at compile time so that common types of coding patterns are identified
and reported on. It would be interesting for a software security overview,
but without context, without a personal impact ... how is it meaningful?
