VillageSQL
An open-source tracking fork of MySQL 8.4 LTS that introduces an extension framework for custom data types and functions.
What is VillageSQL?
VillageSQL Server is an open-source, drop-in compatible fork of MySQL 8.4.8 LTS designed as an innovation platform for the agentic AI era. It introduces the VillageSQL Extension Framework (VEF), which allows developers to extend the database with custom, high-performance logic and domain-specific data types directly within SQL. This solves the problem of MySQL's limited extensibility for modern, data-intensive applications.
Database engineers and developers building data-intensive or AI-driven applications who need to embed custom logic and domain-specific data types directly into MySQL. It is also for teams seeking a MySQL-compatible database that can be extended without forking the core server.
Developers choose VillageSQL over standard MySQL because it offers native extensibility through a framework for building and loading custom extensions, enabling high-performance, server-side logic and specialized data types while maintaining full compatibility with the existing MySQL 8.4 ecosystem and tooling.
