MySQL is the right choice for Small/Medium Businesses

MySQL has been a resilient and reliable database platform to run our website. Our company has grown its website into a tool that runs our business, and we rely on MySQL to keep our data accessible and secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the open source platform has served us well for years, we worry with the acquisition by Oracle that the future of MySQL could be in jeopardy.

As a small but growing company we needed a database to run our business but at a low cost.

I've been using MySQL since 2005 as a backend for web appliations. MySQL's long history makes it a solid choice for most database needs. I've never had an issue with MySQL; it's very reliable. Almost all programming languages have connectors and the administration tools available are plentiful.

MySQL is very versatile and has replaced many other expensive database options.
