Easy to learn relational DB

  • January 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is simple to learn. It is easy to get it installed and running and easy to connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL is now owned by Oracle, so that makes life tricky. I do wish it had been treated as a separate entity when Oracle bought Sun. Still, that's how business works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have local databases tracking student use of the computer labs and software. We also use it to for various engineering software that require database integration.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Mysql does the work you need in a way you want

  • January 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is the most popular and commonly used RDBMS. It is open source and free . It is a feature rich product that powers a lot of web-sites and applications online. It is relatively easy to get started with MySQL, it has a lot of third-party applications, tools and integrated libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared with SQL server rich functions, MYSQL does have functional limitations .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used MYSQL to create and store data used by web application. Compared with SQL server, it is much easier to use mysql to pull and get data from web app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

A great majority of web-sites (and web-applications) can simply work on MySQL despite the constraints. This flexible and somewhat scalable tool is easy to use and easy to manage -- which proves very helpful in the long run.Even though MySQL and some storage engines perform really well with read operations, concurrent read-writes can be problematic.

Implementing databases uses MySQL

  • January 10, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The detailed user manual the accompanies MySQL
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring triggers was a bit of challeng. It requires that the Primary Key for the tables on which the trigger be set to INT. Setting Primary Key to VAR results in a trigger that doesn't execute.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating online databases for dynamic websites for clients in various fields. I have already used it to create a database that health facilities can use to manage patient data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mysql is a rich DBMS with all that you need to create a database. It works well with other programming languages such as HTML, PHP, Python among others. The other benefit of using Mysql is the ready support that is available on online forums. So one never really gets stuck.Of course, this applies to all the other open source software. Lastly, I found the query facility really useful in manipulating data. Though I am still on the learning journey, I can say with confidence that MySQL is a great DBMS.

MySQL is a good database

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to install and test queries. works well with programming languages like C, C++ and Python thru drivers
What do you dislike about the product?
joints and sometimes lengthy queries if the data model is not well designed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use MySQL to store data from CSV files and then extract data from MySQL using PHP to display on dashboard / charts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Design your data model well in order to minize reads. you can increase writes as they are not so expensive, but reads can take longer times if the data resides in multiple tables.
