MySQL: A Popular RDBMS for Teaching Database Concepts
Great experience using MySQL for teaching database concepts for undergraduate and graduate students.
PROSThe 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.
CONSChanging 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

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