MySQL Reviews

It is Open Source and easy to access.

My company does not use MySQL. However, it is often used at universities and is suitable for beginners. It is used for many projects.

From the perspective of the company, you can count on reliable Microsoft SQL or Oracle. If MySQL gets solid, it will be a good solution.

I have used this solution for around two to three years.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

There does not seem to be any technical support for MySQL.

I have used MS SQL and Oracle. However, now I have no money and am using MySQL.

Encoding problems were always complicated, but nothing else.

If you have money, it would be better to use Oracle.

I thought about other Open Sources, but I chose MySQL, which I have already used.

MySQL is a good choice for startups and beginners.

We use MySQL to organize data, analyze information, and make decisions for the company. We also use it to process information from different areas in the company.

What I really like about MySQL is the opportunity to search for information and organize it any way I like. If you know the queries and you add the code, you can organize information any way you like.

MySQL needs to be more accessible and user-friendly. The person working with it needs to be trained in MySQL to have the necessary skills to control the database and analyze data. It should provide better customer experiences.

I have been using MySQL for one year.

The initial setup depends on your knowledge. If you know the principles, except when it comes to queries, it's easy. But if you don't know anything about MySQL or SQL, you can't do it. It took us about six months to set up and deploy MySQL.

I would tell potential users that people in production have to be trained to use MySQL. They should take some courses, and get certificated. This will show them how to use the principal tools and provide some context about how MySQL works. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give MySQL an eight.

Private Cloud

• Free to download and use • Loads of new features over 4.1 version. • Excellent support for a range of platforms. • Performs well in small and medium applications. • Most popular Open Source database engine. • Supports advanced concepts such as replication. • Performs extremely well in the average case.

• It doesn't support stored procedures. • You probably wouldn't use it for heavy-duty installation. • There is no active directory for integration with Microsoft SQL Server or other data bases.

As a developer I have used many database engines but MySQL is by far the best known and most popular Open Source database engine.
