With MySQL i can sell more software because I can sell cheaper, and the performance is the same than others

MySQL is a great to database and is very very powerfull I use it everyday on my work when I develop web applications for my clients MySQL is reliable and have some great admistration tools with great value MySQL works very good and uses less system resources than other similar softwares

MySQL have all that I need to do my work perfect with less cost than others similar softwares MySQL works great for web applications, with good performance

Mysql as any other tools has it's advantages and downsides. It may be fast, ACID-compatible, it may serve as memory cache. It has some dark corners and sometimes may hang on complex queries, or even corrupt the data (this is really rare case, but I faced it more than 10 times during my experience). Consider your scenario carefully. And always, always, ALWAYS make backups.

There a whole world of documentation, best practice, books on mysql. It can be found on nearly any cloud, system, paas. It is really fast (on MyISAM), support transactions (InnoDB), may perform as in-memory cache (memory), or even CSV (never use this one except for testing or reports). Deploy and set up takes next to no time, it consumes very little resources. Actually I feel it is hard to write a review on MySql because over decades of extensive usage it become the standard de-facto, even LAMP has (M) for MySQL. It is a mature if, well known RDBMS with tons of extensions and forks (not sure I may name them here). It is worth to mention though that MySQL is a default backend storage for a whole number of software. MySQL is compliant to SQL standard though with some differences. It may require some changes to your codebase but still, they should not be critical. What will really surprise you is that ORDER by lacks "nulls first/last" clause and that collates may surprise you. In a somewhat unpleasant way. Window functions, virtual tables, temporary tables are here as well and trust me - this is quite important matter, something that is a vital part of any DB. You will find a lot of web and standalone management tools to work both with server and data, some of them are free, others are not, chose yours.

First and biggest cons is that MySQL is not suitable for big amount of data. It always had and still have troubles performing complex joins. Database may get corrupted under some scenarios when significant selections is performed same time as other clients perform batches of inserts/updates (basically, there is a long lasting bug in memory management). Transactions are available in a single engine InnoDB and it is much slower than MyISAM. Worst thing is that in scenarios with multitenant databases with somewhat mediocre load MySQL starts to leak memory. This i a known well-issue, and there is no cure at this moment, you have to reboot the database instance. This is simply a disaster. Performance insight is something that could enjoy some more love. While Mysql is compatible with most of standard SQL, there are still some hard to explain differences.

We just use MySQL for all of our databases

It's the default standard for many companies. MySQL has grown into a very stable product that never crashes. We've made the move to MariaDB, but found that the tables sometimes get corrupted when restarting a database server under heavy load. With the recent speed improvements to MySQL, we have decided to actually migrate back to MySQL.

I'd really like if they would spend a bit more time on their CLI interface. As in, syntax highlighting in the CLI, an easier way to scroll through multiline queries when going through the history. I would also like it if we can specify a color scheme to use for the output.

SQL is one of the best programs that deal with relational databases, that is, those that are based on relationships between tables. It also provides many advantages for data, including high protection, privacy, and integrity.

One of its disadvantages is that it is difficult for beginners to deal with, due to the large number of tools and commands in it

MySQL is a robust and scalable choice for many database-driven projects, offering numerous advantages for both beginners and experienced developers. I appreciated this coming in as a novice and learning overtime how important a functioning database is to a project.

MySQL's compatibility with various platforms and extensive support for programming languages contributes to its versatility, making it suitable for diverse applications. Moreover, its extensive online community and detailed documentation make troubleshooting and learning effortless.

MySQL lacks some advanced performance optimization features found in other database management systems. This limitation may require additional effort to optimize complex queries manually.

Many of our relational databases work nowadays with MySQL, we find it easier to maintain than PostgreSQL or other alternatives, as well as it's knowledge more broadly distributed due to it being very beginner friendly for web projects, joined with PHP usually.

First of all there's a free community version, as well as alternative software like MariaDB and Percona Server which have an open-source approach as well. There are multiple services to manage MySQL like Amazon RDS as well as similar products on GCP or Azure, so it's not entirely required to have expert knowledge to use these databases if you are willing to pay for support.

The upgrade process for MySQL requires downtime and it's not easy to perform a rollback either (on some cases it's entirely impossible unless you restore a backup). Managed services don't provide a zero-downtime upgrade process either, except for migration all your info and deltas into a new database (which sometimes is not entirely available)

I use MySQL in many personal projects, like my automated house project. It was a very good choice, I'm happy with this. Also, in the past, I have worked with MySQL and PHP in my company's intranet page. It was a good tool, but as the company grows, we need to migrate to another platform. Also, it is important to say that if you use the correct database engine with MySQL, you can have foreign keys and other types of constraints so it is very flexible.

MySQL is a well balanced product, while it is free to use, it also has many features you can find in corporative solutions, like SQL Server and Oracle. If you ever need help, you will find answers almost everywhere, from their own documentation to stackoverflow and other forums, easily. You will have a very short learning curve with MySQL.

When you need to deal with great amount of data, like some kind of data warehouse structure or huge amount of measures to analyze, you better go other choices. It starts getting too slow with the same hardware other products will work smoothly. But I guess that is not the purpose for MySQL. In the other hand, if you want it to build a transactional system like an e-commerce platform or even a Blog page, it is a very good choice!

To get started in application development, I highly recommend it for its ease of use and how effective it can be for handling data on a small scale. Of course, MYSQL has to be just a step to later migrate to systems that better manage data on a large scale, such as SQL Server or Oracle.

Mysql is a good tool to start in the world of software development. It offers a small but powerful product, with effective database management when it comes to bringing us useful information for the business. With a few command lines we can get all the information we need, and its installation and first use is fast and intuitive.

Although MYSQL works well for small and medium projects, in large-scale projects we can suffer a bit with information and data management, since this tool is not entirely designed to handle large-volume data. It can handle data in large volume, but the way in which it will do it will not be the most efficient or the most optimal, which can cause a certain lack of speed when deploying our project.

It is one of the best tool if you want to learn database management since it is free, simple to learn and it's performance it's really good.

First it is easy for one to learn how to use this software. It is also an open source that is one can get it online for free. Another thing I like about this software is that it works well with different programming languages as well operating systems that are Windows, Linux and MacOS. Lastly it is fast and installation is simple.

It's slow when running large databases. Using it can also be hard for people who have no experience. Lastly is the user interface that is workbench, it is not interactive thus it needs some changes to improve it's performance.

I've used MySQL for a few years, and I'd heartily recommend it. It is a very capable and flexible solution for managing your server-based data.

Despite being available for free, MySQL has numerous functionalities that are also present in commercial products like SQL Server.

The majority of other databases, save for MySQL, offer data transfer between DB and distributed file systems like AWS S3.

We resolved over DBMS issues with MySQL. It is free therefore We resolved our cost issues. It has the best community. We resolved our all issues very easily. Queries are very easy, Therefore we saved over time. If we think to use relational database MySQL is the best. We can recommend for anyone. Drivers are there for any programming language.

MySQL is a powerful database management system. It is free. Easy to learn and use. I someone new to DBMS. We can recommend that person to MySQL without any trouble. It is supported to any environment. If your server/PC windows, Linux or Mac. It doesn't matter. MySQL support for all Operation systems and very easy to set up in any environment. We can tall like this if we think about the setup and configuration process "MySQL is the most easiest DBMS system to set up and configure". We can create databases and tables very easily. As well as It is a relational database. We can keep up table relations. It supports many data types. Int, Double, Flote, Varchar, Text, Date,Timestamp...etc.We can create table, views,functions,procedure,trigger..etc. It support many character sets. We vey easy to take backups. We can use text files, CSV file, excel files to data upload. bulk data upload support. MySQL queries are very easy. It supports joins, subqueries,union,group,order and so many things are there. Many free client applications are there for MySQL like MySQL workbench, sqlyog, phpadmin. We can run mysql in custom port. We can limit privileges by user roles. Best thing is support. And also MySQl drivers are there for any programming language. If It is Java, PHP, Node...etc doesn't matter. There are many resources for MySQL. MySQL is a world most popular, powerful, easy, wonderful DBMS.

Actually, It is a relational database. Therefore before the database creation, You want to create ER-Diagram otherwise you are in trouble. When the relationships are increasing. Hard to insert data. As well as. MySQL is not good for large databases. If relations go very hight. data retrieving speed is going down. If table storage is hight, data retrieving speed is going down. If connections are going hights. It returns too many connection errors and MySQL down. We want to restart.

Compared with 20 years of Microsoft SQL database work, the switch to MySQL was far superior. Code level language . Remote administration is vastly superior to Microsoft SQL.

The platform is stable - always working. Documentation is consistent. Updates are coherent and stable. We use it in 95% of all our projects, and it has been a life saver for our bottom line.

Choosing the right tool to download was confusing. Obviously written by developers instead of management. I'd suggest a 2-4 step process to help in choosing the right packages. The setup process could use a bit more explanation and be more lucid.

It takes some time to become good at properly configuring it and designing data structures, but once you do, it can handle unbelievable and complex loads.

Large and experienced community. Any question you have - someone has already asked it and received a good answer. Unbeatable stability. Decent performance. Keeps improving over the years without many breaking changes. You can be almost sure that code written 10, 15 years ago will work in the newest versions.

Misconfiguration can lead to freezes and crashes, default configs aren't a good choice in most cases. Takes a long time to restart. SQL will not perfectly match your project logic - you have to learn to think in SQL if you want to have a data architecture that works well.

I started working with MySQL around 2002. I was looking for some low cost database to use and let old DBF structures in the past. Found MySQL and have never quit working with it since then, not even when I started working with other databases like Oracle and MS SQL Server

It is free to use and have a large known community of users all over the planet.

It is free to use, as long as you don't develop the applications using some strict and exclusive commands. I don't know if this have changes and by and large people don't seems to care about it, not even the owner for I have never seen or heard of anybody charged or asked about it.

MySQL is an incredibly powerful and versatile database management system that is suitable for businesses of all sizes. Its features are comprehensive and allow users to customize the system to their needs. However, it can be difficult to understand and use for those who are not experienced with databases.

MySQL is an incredibly powerful and versatile open-source relational database management system. It is easy to setup and use, and it is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor the system to their specific needs. The sheer number of features and capabilities available makes MySQL an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes.

MySQL can be quite difficult to understand and use for those who are not experienced with databases. The complex nature of the software can make it difficult to troubleshoot and maintain. Also, some of the features are not always as intuitive as they could be, which can make it difficult for novice users to understand.

Our application has 2-way interface, data-entry and user / customer interfaces. On one hand it is being used with .Net for data-entry part of application and on other hand being used with PHP for user / customer interface. The .Net part is deployed locally while user / customer interface is deployed on Azure. A in-house developed desktop utility is also being used to transport data from local MySQL server to Azure MySQL database. We are having almost 2M+ transactions in few tables, working well. It helps us to save the licensing cost. It is also being used in our other websites in backend for data storage and retrieval.

The thing I like most about MySQL is, It is available for multiple operating systems like Windows, Linux, etc. It is free and open-source. It is very lighter in comparison to MsSQL and very fast. It is very easy to learn and use. It is very easy to install, configure and manage. The syntax is very identical to the same we use sentences in English. It is capable to hold large data in tables. It is best free database with enterprise level features. It is supported by almost all popular programming languages. There are numerous 3rd party custom tools available for it.

With huge data, I had faced data loss and improper data retrieval but it is very rare and manageable. Some of the error messages are so general and unable represent the actual problem. Some error messages are so weird then the actual problem. It gives sense of insecurity at some points.

MySQL has been around for a long time and I have been using it as my go-to database for as long as I'm working with websites. With its incredible stability, all of my websites databases are in safe hands. With recent updates it actually became even faster and more stable. I can only recommend it as the best and fastest database for small and medium size projects.

The thing I like most about MySQL is that it is free, open source, and fast. It is extremely stable, and I don't remember the time it crashed for whatever reason. Another additional benefit is that it supports multiple operating systems.

Really large databases become slow and need a lot of maintenance. Error messages are often vague and unhelpful so finding what went wrong requires a lot of work.

I believe your experience with MySQL will vary based on the option(s) you choose to interact with it. As mentioned before, you can use the CLI which is used mainly by power users; however, the average Joe can simply use a open source GUI which will make life a whole lot easier. Just to name a few of the FREE GUI software on the web: * HeidiSQL * PhpMyAdmin * SQL Workbench All are excellent options to make the user experience absolutely the best. Ever since I began using the software, I felt this bond with the ease of use, ease to remember commands and a large community support backed by tons of online documentations and tutorials. I would say this is one of my best experience using any software and would highly recommend for beginners and power users.

Currently we have many different types of DB on the market (No SQL and SQL). I spent the past 3 years working with MySQL and completely feel in love with the many of its' feature. * Once you become familiar with the features and the commands, you will find it is super easy and flexible to operate. I interact with it via both the CLI (Command Line Interface) and GUI (Graphical User Interface) and just love the experience. * It has some easy to use commands that are human readable. * Ton loads of useful documentations on the web. * It is an amazing open source RDBMS (Relational Database Management System). * It can be found bundled with many current software stack (LAMP, MAMP, XAMPP) etc., just to name a few. * You can create and cutomize databases, tables, routines, procedures which will all make the workflow super easy to manage your data with many advance tools available at your disposal. * There is the CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) features that are simple to learn and master in your everyday workflow.

Looking at the NoSQL DB (MongoDB) which uses a document type format to save data in their DB, I would say one of the feature I believe is missing or could be improved, is the way data is stored. What I mean, is that currently in MySQL, if the field is not created, you can't insert data as it will not automatically create necessary fields, while with MongoDB, if the particular field has not been created before data was inserted, it will be done on the fly while uploading or inserting data.

Overall MySQL is very good data base platform for any one who getting start with programing database software specialy for beginners to get familiar with data base software.Good service and worth for every money you spent on it.Highly Recommended

MySQL is very fameous data base software.It is a first data base software which I use to develop my first POS system program.It was recommend by my friend and he said that it is very fast and reliable data base program but also it is very simple to understand and work with it.There for I choosed it and he said true.It is very easy to learn and work with it and I simply got familiar with it in a small time.I very like it simplicity and can highly recommend for any one who looking for a data base software to do their software developments.And also MySQL can operate within from many programing languages and I used JAVA to program my software so it need small library to import to the JAVA program and with that it can operate very fastly from using simple codes.MySQL also can operate from many coding IDEA l platforms like Visual Code , NetBeans or InteliJ and it become very helpful feature to make working easy with MySQL.MySQL is the very fast and reliable data base software I ever used and it get well fitted with my programs. There for it helps to work fast your software and there for I think using MYSQL is a good investment for developing a software.

Mainly MuSQL is my favorite data base software and I havent many drawbacks of it.I think it is better to replace more user ffriendly commands in MySQL library for JAVA.Some times it get tricky to some commands in MySQL from JAVA by using the library.But it is not a big deal.Many Programing softwares are suggest many programing key words ttherefore coding is getting very easy.But when getting to code MySQL commands , some programing platforms were unable to suggest key words and cods ththerefore I think that must be improve more.Considering security I heard that there are many more secured data base software in the feild.So I suggest to improve the security of MySQL data base.

I have been using MySQL for years now to design and deploy dynamic websites and online software. It is one of the easiest and best database systems I have used. It does have a few quirks and things that can get a little frustrating from time to time, but all in all it is an amazing system and I don't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Because it is free there really isn't a lot of direct support for it. That said there is a huge community of users and it is normally very easy to find an answer to question or get help when you need it. This is truly one of the best database systems you can use.

- First off it is free and open source - Excellent scale-able database system - Works perfectly with Linux or Unix servers - When paired with PHP MyAdmin you can easily work inside your databases from anywhere - Excellent storage capacity and retrieval - Can easily store millions of records without issue - Did I mention it is FREE!

- Unless you want to be working in a command prompt you need to install 3rd party software like PHP MyAdmin to administrate the database; that said most hosting companies install these by default for you already. - Some built-in functions to MySQL actually slow down queries to a crawl and ignore your indexes; for example using the DATE() on a datetime column ignores any index in that column. - Not as robust as Oracle or SQL for large datasets; it will work but it does slow down performance as your data pool grows. Normally this does not happen until you get well into the millions of records and even then there are things you can do to speed up performance but it is worth noting it is not as fast out of the box as other enterprise systems.

MySQL was initially an open source RDBMS till it was acquired by Oracle corporation. MySQL was integrated with a very versatile web interface PHPMyAdmin which provided a full-fledged database client that allows administrators to manage the creation of database entities including tables, views, stored procedures, triggers, users, .... MySQL supports the various SQL 92 constructs including DDL, DML, and DCL SQL statements. It is not supported with advanced Undo/Redo Logging algorithms as in the case of Oracle database, but still can support advanced SQL queries with decent optimization mechanisms.

PHPMyAdmin suffered from performance lagging and bottlenecks specifically when inserting database rows. The lagging is mainly from the Web GUI since the actual SQL insertion mechanism is effectuated in the database but not refreshed in the PHPMyAdmin GUI. The latest database engine supported by PHPMyAdmin is MariaDB which suffered the same performance lagging issue. Customer support wasn't successful in figuring out the source of this bug. This is mainly experienced on Windows installations. MySQL is not open source anymore which makes MariaDB (the open source alternative) a much cost efficient choice.

I have been using this tool for more than 3 years and it benefited me a lot. It helped me to manage multiple databases, optimization of queries and extraction of data. It is a perfect tool for every newbie.

MySQL is a powerful tool for handling large databases without the fear of any data loss. It enable users to integrate with different tools. There is a huge collection of free plug-ins. Despite it is an open source, it provides a high data security that helps to protect data in a well organized manner. Solutions are readily available on forums for any type of problems. The web interface has made the installation setup and configurations much more easier.

It does not support most of the useful features that modern database tools support like ROLE and COMMIT. It does not handle large databases efficiently and performance is bit low. I believe you do get what you pay for. Although, it is a great free of cost product.

Every web based application needs a good database to handle the management of its users, eCommerce solutions and website structure to keep everything running and out out all the data management solutions out there MySQL is the best! Installation and and implementation is as simple as a few clicks and the MySQL Interface allows for easy customization and control. The website you are reading this from uses MySQL to store all these information and keep tract of submissions and statistical information. Never had any issues and i use it in my everyday life daily.

I been using MySQL Since it's invention. I use MySQL to create user databases for user profiles, Order tracking and website user data management and it has done perfect on the website software i use such as WordPress. vBulletin and a range of other website based applications. I also use MySQL for my video/audio chat application to start users chat profiles.

Sometimes hen your importing large MySQL databases from one host to another it can be challenging. Sometimes the process breaks during upload or importing and you have to start all over again or the import doesn't fully import everything and there is website issues so keep that in mind. I found a way around this alot of times by just using big dump. Other then that over the years it has been getting better and better as of the latest version i must say that it is running so far flawlessly.

Overall found perfect for large data, large industry data of erps, IOT devices and other complex features like sms/email applications. Queries,data handeling,data backups,table analyse,database comoaction and optimization are awesome valued aded features.

Effective to handel large data recording and reporting with in good time,while data is being entred and acessed from many users. Live from PC GuIwhereas also available phpmyadmin to acess on web and work with php accordingly, although it can be integrared with many languages programs like Java,Ajax,ASP but most of the time it being used with PHP. Work with existing filed like calculation/triggers best thing which is used BI,AI. Query reporting/response time from such large data is awesome. Query for access data almost every feature is available to get curtain form of data. UI and use is very easier.

Not generic calculation formula like excel, such additional feature should be introduced. Value based trigger should be introuduced with support of scripts, i.e if value of column (field) reaches,equals to specific value this then run this scripts ir query and put specific value on this filed etc , its currently un upavailable. Advanced statiatics are not get reported by data, like hypothesis, regerssions. No built in tool in excel.
