- JSONB -> `JSON` (MySQL native JSON type)

### Query Differences from PostgreSQL
- PostgreSQL `$1, $2` placeholders -> MySQL `?, ?` placeholders
- PostgreSQL `ANY($1)` array parameter -> MySQL `IN (?, ?, ...)` dynamic placeholders
- PostgreSQL `gen_random_uuid()` -> MySQL `UUID()` function
- PostgreSQL `NOW() + INTERVAL '5 seconds'` -> MySQL `DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 SECOND)`
- PostgreSQL `FILTER (WHERE ...)` -> MySQL `SUM(CASE WHEN ... THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)`
- PostgreSQL `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE` -> MySQL `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE`

### Stored Procedures
- Uses MySQL stored procedure syntax instead of PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL
- `DELIMITER //` and `DELIMITER ;` for procedure definition
- `CALL move_to_dlq(?)` to invoke
