JIT vs. Static Compiler As already said in the previous posts, JIT can compile IL/bytecode into native code at runtime. The cost of that was mentionned, but not to its conclusion: JIT has one massive problem is that it can’t compile everything: JIT compiling takes time, so the JIT will compile only some parts of … Read more
As far as I can tell, both syntaxes are equivalent. The first is SQL standard, the second is MySQL’s extension. So they should be exactly equivalent performance wise. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/insert.html says: INSERT inserts new rows into an existing table.
