Empowering the MySQL Community

VillageSQL values the 30+ years of community around MySQL. We want to empower it to drive innovation for all MySQL users by offering a path for permissionless innovation.

Innovation Through Extensions

VillageSQL introduces a robust extension framework that includes custom data types, custom functions, and custom indexes (coming soon). We believe this extension framework will accelerate innovation in MySQL and allow developers building AI, agentic, and enterprise workloads to choose MySQL without waiting for a central entity to build and release new features and functionality.

Drop-in Replacement for MySQL

VillageSQL Server for MySQL is an open-source and extensible tracking fork of MySQL that is a drop-in replacement. VillageSQL will always be a drop-in replacement for MySQL (i.e., zero code changes required to move to VillageSQL from open-source MySQL). Developers can keep using the tools and ORMs they already use with MySQL.

Easy Extension Management

VillageSQL makes it easy to enable extensions—just use standard SQL commands. Install extensions with an INSTALL EXTENSION command and immediately start using new data types, functions, and capabilities. The UUID extension shown here adds native UUID support with efficient 16-byte storage—perfect for distributed systems and modern applications.

# Install UUID extension
INSTALL EXTENSION vsql_uuid;

# Create a users table with UUID primary key
CREATE TABLE users (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    username VARCHAR(50),
    email VARCHAR(255),
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
