I discovered a dependency for MySQL Workbench on AlmaLinux 8 installation. I neglected to fully cover it when I documented the installation in a VM of AlmaLinux 9. I go back later and update that entry but for now you need the following dependencies:

proj-datumgrid-1.8-6.3.2.4.el8.noarch.rpm
proj-devel-6.3.2-4.el8.x86_64.rpm

Install like this:

sudo dnf install -y *.rpm

Choosing a data store is one of the most important decisions you'll make when building software applications. The good and bad news though, is that there is an abundance of options. Depending on the type of application you're building, you may opt for a relational database like MySQL or Postgres, a non-relational database like MongoDB or CouchDB, a graph database like Neo4j, or one of the many other alternatives that each bring their own benefits and drawbacks.

What’s the best way to store binary data in MySQL? This is a question that has multiple answers, depending on what you want to achieve. For example, if you need to optimize for the storage size, you probably need to use some compression algorithm that compresses your data efficiently. In my case, I really need the best performance, meaning the fastest response time to fetch the entire blob from MySQL.
