What do you like best about the product?
Oracle bought MySql and it is limited Open Source product means if u want GUI tools then we need to buy licensed version. It is very easy to setup, maintain,upgrade and apply patches. New features for every release.IT works very well web applications like PHP, etc.. It has different types of sql engines like InnoDB wtc., based on our requirement we can select the engine we want to run. We can have any number of configuration files .IF you buy licensed version you will monitoring tool which monitors the databases and servers. It has option to track slow queries also

It cannot handle large database transactions and it is not for large sized transactions.
Caching and partitioning could be an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have very small databases in our company which has very less transactions So we decided to invest less money on this. We went to latest verison and took licensed version which is less than oracle db. We have many php applications for that backend is mysql db.

it is open source, therefore, you paid no price. Also, it has a lot of existing forum such as stackoverflow and other communities to support the product.

it is a popular choice for a non-oracle database

SQL for the general public with advanced features

  • July 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I started using MySQL from my high school studies and I have not stopped doing so, it is the lightest and fastest database management software on the market. In my opinion, it has nothing to envy from other competitors, it is very fast and very heavy procedures and the management of the databases is very simple with this software.
Moreover, when it comes to prices, it is the best value for money compared to competing software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst part about MySQL is that, since Oracle bought it, it feels like the little brother of it and therefore, once you have it and you have squeezed it to the max, you will end up switching to Oracle without a doubt because it offers more complete options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Luckily, having studied and learned SQL with MySQL I have been able to make a great database in my company and be able to put aside the pen and paper, update to new technologies and do all the management in databases with MySQL. In addition, it has been very easy for me to teach other employees to use it even without knowledge of SQL thanks to its simple interface.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Community Edition can be tested for free and thanks to its free history before being purchased by Oracle, there are hundreds of tutorials and guides to do all the database management you need. It is also very easy to implement in web services with your own plugin.
