About MySQL

MySQL is a scalable database management system, which enables organizations to securely record, update and manage data in compliance with GDPR, PCI, HIPPA and various regulatory standards. Features include data masking, audit, de-identification, real-time monitoring, provisioning, patching and authentication. The ACID-compliant solution comes with a query analyzer, which helps developers gain visibility into query activities and execution, identify problematic queries and filter out specific issues such as full table scans and bad indexes.

Administrators can use the Enterprise Firewall, its intrusion detection feat...

MySQL: A Popular RDBMS for Teaching Database Concepts

Great experience using MySQL for teaching database concepts for undergraduate and graduate students.

PROS

The main feature that I cherish in MySQL is the ability of my students to deploy it locally without the complexities of intricate configurations and deployment mechanisms. I used MySQL as part of the Bitnami WAMP stack (MariaDB is now packaged in Bitnami) to get a complete server bundle that is easy for students to deploy and configure. Before I relied in my teaching on a networked Oracle installation that was not that performance efficient and didn't give students the chance to configure the server environment. Moreover, with a networked configuration testing various SQL concepts would be a bit complex compared to having a local database installation.

CONS

Changing the open-source license by Oracle was a bit disappointing. MariaDB is a kind of open-source alternative to MySQL with very similar features and architecture.

Reasons for switching to MySQL

Easier to install and test with MySQL locally

SQL Review

PROS

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.

CONS

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
