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.

MySQL is the easiest database system to setup

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It installs and sets up the database system thru a wizard interface. You just need to answer and select each available options and it install and setup the sql database system on any PC or PC Server. You can create a database, modify or delete it easily thru its GUI.
What do you dislike about the product?
The bad thing is if the MySQL installation fails, you have to uninstall the whole MySQL first and restart the computer. To do a clean install again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its great for organizing games on a game site. Which allows for fast searching and locating of a specific game.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
MySQL is more easier to setup and work with than MS SQL.

Good free database platform

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

Good, free database platform that has the ability to do a certain amount of high availability.

High availability is cumbersome to set up and not as feature-rich as other DB platforms.

Basic relational databases

Usable, functional database for small to medium projects

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how quickly I can set up a database and use for PHP projects like WordPress and Drupal. I have found most open source tools that run on Linux support a mysql backend database for supporting metadata and text storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Clustering and scaling MySQL is the greatest challenge I have faced in supporting instances. I have had to use the assistance of data architects to create solutions that don't cause more problems than they solve. Additionally, I avoid using it for functions that are heavy on blob storage usage as it greatly impacts the performance in a negative way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL allows for quick build out of small projects for Proof of Concept and tight deadlines. It can scale with the right people supporting it. We use it for Drupal, Wordpress, blogs, small sites, and development efforts for hosted SaaS solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's still the industry standard for starting out projects.

Great for putting things in alphabetical or numerical order.

  • January 09, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is so easy to open scripts and run them in MySQL. it does a great job of putting content in order on websites. one click and you're done!
What do you dislike about the product?
You must have computer programming knowledge to write scripts. This software is only easy to run the scripts if someone else has wrirtten them if you don't have that knowledge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use MySQL when updating my employer's website. He is a nature photographer and MySQL allows you to put photos on a site in alphabetical or numerical order with minimal effort running scripts. It has made updating a website very fast and simple when I used to spend many hours.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend learning scripts and computer programming if you want to use this program entirely by yourself to make websites. You will need to hire a computer programmer for your needs if you do not know this stuff. Otherwise it is fairly simple and shows errors that happen so you can fix them.
