The product is quite mature.

Technical Support:

NA

Straightforward.

In-house.

Good.

The open source product is good. If you want advanced features go for the enterprise edition.

I have used the solution for a database tied to application development.

There are some issues with compatibility with Java environments that need to be improved. When Oracle bought this solution there were some driver changes that caused some issues with operations.

I have been using the solution for approximately eight years.

There are approximately 300 users using the solution in my organization. 

The solution is a small application and is very easy to deploy.

There is a license for this solution. A lot of the time the solution gets bundled with other hardware or software purchases.

I have plans to continue using the solution in the future.

I rate MySQL a seven out of ten.

On-premises

I'm currently using MySQL for the contact center database, and it is in the cloud. I have also used it in other projects for database and CRM, and it was on-premises. I have used it in 20 projects.

It is easy to use. It is simple to implement, which makes it suitable for our projects because we have deadlines. MySQL is also open-source, which is another plus point.

Its performance should be better. When we use big data, it is slow in performance. We should be able to use mirroring for improved performance.

I have been using MySQL for nine years.

It is very flexible. It could be because I'm familiar with MySQL.

I have never contacted the technical support of MySQL. If I have a problem, I find the solution from Stack Overflow.

Its initial setup is easy. I only need a maximum of one hour for the installation of MySQL.

It is open-source.

I would rate MySQL a nine out of ten.

I like MySQL because of its community.

MySQL doesn't have the auto-clustering and database clustering features that other competitors provide. They can include these features.

I have been using MySQL for about two years. 

It is stable.

It is really easy to scale. We have around 20 to 40 users who use it regularly.

I never interacted with their technical support. If there is any problem in my project, I just look for it on Stack Overflow and fix it easily. It also comes with good documentation.

It is easy to install. The deployment duration depends upon your internet connection. If you have a good internet connection, the deployment would be faster.

I would recommend this product if someone is new to the IT world.

I would rate MySQL an eight out of ten.

Scaling.

More than five years.

There have been some problems with big table operations.

Some problems with big table operations, and a struggle to keep the servers responding in peak situations.

I don't have enough information about it, as I normally look for community support.

Straightforward, and and easy to run.

Can range from free to quite expensive, depending on the environments and requirements, so better to really set goals ahead of setting it up.

SQL Server, Oracle XE, MariaDB.

It is a stable, reliable, and powerful solution that is quite suited for small to medium organizations and/or projects.

We are using this solution for database management.

One of the best features is this solution is easy to use.

The solution could improve by having better performance and security.

I have been using this solution for approximately five years.

The solution is relatively stable.

For what we have been using the solution for it is scalable. However, it could be more scalable.

We have a lot of customers using this solution with more projects coming up. We have overall approximately 500 users using this solution.

The technical support is very good and responsive.

The installation is straightforward. It can easily be installed onto a laptop or any computer.

I did the implementation myself.

There is not a license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MySQL an eight out of ten.

On-premises

Easy:

• Installation
• Customization
• Use

Data is:

• More ordered
• Reliable
• Available in time and form

Scalability: In large databases, they become slow.

12 years.

No.

Yes. In large databases, response times are high.

10 out of 10.

We used this solution, but changed for another because the database was very large.

Configuration was easy and with much support material.

No.

Let them think about the size of the database.

It has a relational database system. Client/Server Architecture SQL compatibility (Structured Query Language) .MySQL has the features of the current SQL standard (at the moment SQL: 2003). SubSELECTs: From version 4.1, MySQL is capable of processing a query in the form of SELECT * FROM tablename1 WHERE x IN (SELECT y FROM tablename2). MySQL supports views from MYSQL version 5.0. Stored procedures: Is capable of storing codes: MySQL has supported SPs since version 5.0. Triggers: MySQL has supported triggers in a limited form from version 5.0 Unicode: MySQL has supported all conceivable character sets since version 4.1, including Latin-1, Latin-2, and Unicode (either in the variant UTF8 or UCS2). User interface: There are a number of convenient user interfaces for administering a MySQL server. Full-text search: Full-text search simplifies and accelerates the search for words that are located within a text field. If you employ MySQL for storing text (such as in an Internet discussion group), you can use full-text search to simply implement an efficient search function. Has got statement-based replication. It's one of the simplest ways to create databases.

DELETE and UPDATE statements that use a LIMIT clause without an ORDER BY are non deterministic. Statements using any of the following functions cannot be replicated properly using statement-based replication: LOADFILE (), USER ().
