I have worked on migration projects between Power BI on Microsoft and SAP modules, which involve exchanging databases from Power BI on Microsoft to SAP modules. Additionally, I have been involved in integration projects as a MySQL developer using Oracle SQL databases.
Right now, I don't work very effectively with the tool. I am more like an architect currently, so I don't have to go deep into MySQL. In my company, we don't use Azure yet. Teamcenter PLM software is set up using Oracle or MySQL. We need to install Oracle or MySQL. I used the tool for technical things for ten to twelve years. Right now, I have lost touch with how to use it.
We use the tool in projects with customer records in the database. There will be a front-end application to search and find specific data from the tool. In another project, there are product listings, and the front end fetches data from the tool and shows it in a gallery or list view on the web page or mobile application.
Below are a few instances where MySQL is utilized. Typically, I have worked on RPA projects. To preserve or update data from the database, I must create a database and data tables, which can be used again in the future or by other processes. Additionally, the data can be shared. I need to store and manage the data for reporting and management purposes. The tasks I perform, mostly involve sorting, patching, and maintaining data, as well as creating stored procedures.
The solution is a database server. You can use it for desktop or web applications. The tool is used mostly for web applications. Most websites have MySQL databases behind them.

We are using MySQL for backend operations since we are a software backend developer. We are using this tool in our backend application for acquiring the data. We mainly use MySQL for our Relational Database Management System(RDBMS). We are maintaining our customer data in a defined way. We have to create various schema levels. We are presenting the customer data, such as name, mobile number, what was purchased, and what they like or dislike. Once we create the schema, a set of data, we need to maintain the unique constraints. For example, for customers, we'll assign a unique ID to each record, that will be a primary key. All these SQL constraints we'll use and there should no variance or replication of data isolated. When we perform any update operations, it should not affect any of the data isolated. We need to take care of many things, such as consistency, isolation, and variability for constructing any database. There are a few more concepts as well, such as normalization and PL/SQL. For example, if I want to run a job at a particular time, the product will use PL/SQL. We are like implementing our coding skills to databases. Our operations are on-premise. However, we are in the process of moving everything to the cloud.
The primary use case for MySQL is to develop web applications, proof of concept projects with data collection, data manipulation, and data reporting on both Windows and Linux platforms. We also use MySQL to store the data that we receive from different projects and build data models. We can also develop reports out of it. MySQL is used for small application use only and not used for enterprise-level business applications. MSQL is free open-source software. This is the most valuable aspect for any company as it helps to reduce the cost.
Our primary use case for MySQL is for running applications on our Linux boxes. We have very few applications that run online, but we use MySQL on those boxes, primarily for our email system. We haven't considered working on cloud, so all our solutions are on-premises.
With most open source products we were building, even the language was open source, such as that which employs PHP. This is where the MySQL free version was being primarily used by many of the clients in the storing of their data. There have been some great shoppers which we built with the solution. We use the solution to store the transactional data that we receive from various sites or have the data stored in MySQL.

Our backend database is MySQL and we use products such as Power BI, Tableau, and Spotfire to display data for the geochemists. I perform data-related tasks such as data manipulation and creating views, then updating the database afterward, all using SQL queries. As part of this, I'm making entries as needed or corrections to data that has already been processed.

We only support the backend and only carry it as a database. You can do what you want on the database to create the schema and to manage the rest of the organization.
It is an ideal database to use online learning environments and SMEs. It works well with Moodle, the open-source learning solution, and is the defacto standard for that product as Moodle is written in PHP which generally goes hand-in-hand with MySQL. As it is an open-source and free solution it is an economical method of storing important companies or small business data. At the same time, it offers a rich set of functions comparable to other large-scale enterprise solutions such as SQL Server and Oracle.
We are interfacing it with MicroStrategy. There are ODBC connections. We have 10 to 12 users in our company. We are assessing the possibilities of moving to the cloud. We are not yet sure if we are going to move to the cloud.
The primary use case is as a reporting solution, data collection, data manipulation, and similar tasks. We install MySQL on Linux and Windows machines for testing our enterprise application. We are a solution provider and this product is part of our offering to our clients.
We sell MySQL to customers who need to build second tier applications, not their core application. For some of our customers, when they are planning to build their second tier application, they will choose MySQL rather than Oracle which is more expensive.
MYSQL is our main database. We use it for every project. I use it for storage procedures, SQL administration, and database administration. We also use it for the development of reports, and projects that are deployed for our customers. It is also used to develop applications. The majority of companies use it for their development projects.

I'm not involved from the database side as much. I primarily use it for reviewing the data structure as the architecture before I build a data model in our BI tools. General querying is pretty much what I do, and also analyzing data types and data structures within the database itself. I review the data structure within them. And I use that to build the data model, which we have in our reporting environment. That's primarily all I use it for.
We use multiple models here because we do full development. What we deploy on MySQL is from the Helm chart or it's a Dockerized deployment of MySQL. So we're using the Helm stable chart right now. That's sort of the easiest way to deploy it - to say just one command and it bootstraps your whole database within your classical means or cluster. You can do it locally with mini-crews or developers, for organizational use, or Kubernetes. It's single-node Kubernetes. Also, you can just deploy MySQL locally with a Helm chart. Regarding production, we have a kind of automated process which is similar to what Spinnaker deploys, with a Helm chart as well as within the cluster. Some other solutions we don't run within the cluster, we use the Cloud version of the database which is Cloud SQL, Google Cloud, and AWS. Those are fully managed ones, of which there are two versions. We have our self-managed version which we run locally and with our DEV cluster and then there is production, as well. We also use a self-managed version since every cloud provider offers MySQL, even AWS. It depends on the client's needs, how flexible the client is, and also how comfortable they are with MySQL. We either go with our managed version or the Cloud version. Both are supported because today the Mica server that's actually accessing the database or the piece of software just needs a connection string, it doesn't care if it's running within the Synchronous Cloud. If it's running somewhere else in the Cloud, it's still a private connection on the same network. So the only differences here are in terms of money costs and whether it's managed or not managed. So for local development, you don't want to have a managed database in the Cloud. You don't need to be tethered to the Cloud, you'd rather just deploy locally. And because we have the same deployment scripts that run locally in DEV and testing, we use the same Helm chart and the same Docker version with MySQL to distribute that through our DEV environment to test the bills and run the test and there is a full QA environment for teaching, as well.
