Not consider the foreign keys and ignores the referential integrity, caused that it is controlled in development of the application

In the internal web applications of the company, in which the speed and the number of concurrent accesses was paramount, MySQL, Apache and PHP are ideal to serve web pages with dynamic content.

MySQL is a Solid OpenSource RBMS
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a lightweight database engine that provides standard RDBMS functionality with a minimal memory footprint. I was able to install it on my 2008 MacBook Pro and have it up and running in a couple of hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
The availability of tools and support for Mac OS X seemed a bit sparse. The documentation available from the provider did not go into a great deal of depth for the kinds of things I was interested in (i.e., mysqlimport) so I ended up looking for after-market tools for data loading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am designing a data model for a research lab. I will be loading data in numerous csv files into MySQL for the purposes of reporting and eventually sharing and/or distributing datasets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As with all mission critical software decisions, I recommend a trial period during which your organization can evaluate how MySQL meets your business data needs.

Excellent Database Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about MySQL is how easy the tool is to use. I'm extremely new to using MySQL but found that I am able to pick up and use it with little assistance. I've run into tools that are intimidating, but have been able to muddle through and understand what I'm doing with the tool very easily
What do you dislike about the product?
Though initially I thought that MySQL was going to be free for me to use, it turns out that is not the case. At the size of my system, the cost is not outrageous, but I could see the price starting to climb over time as the system needs grow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we are solving with MySQL is that of our physical inventory. We were using an Excel spreadsheet to update our equipment and software. Using MySQL has streamlined the process of inputting and updating inventory and software.
Great SQL for Quick Development
What do you like best about the product?
It’s quick to setup and get started. Since it can store the tables locally, I love using it for quick proofs of concept or learning purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’m not a huge fan of the SQL Workbench GUI. It’s not very user friendly. Sometimes the MySQL installation breaks and you have to reinstall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a large company, you often can’t just quickly create new database tables. MySQL allows me to quickly and easily test database ideas locally or provide a db for a proof of concept I’m working on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don’t have experience using MySQL as our main database for our applications, but it is fantastic for doing quick ideas or small learning projects. Could not recommend enough for personal use.
