MySQL is a really scalable structured database available for free
What do you like best about the product?
Its open source and available for free. There are lot of communities for MySQL and if you are stuck with anything you will get help from everywhere
What do you dislike about the product?
There is almost nothing that I dislike about MySQL. It really does what it is supposed to be doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to create secondary indexes for my logs which I'm storing and MySQL was a good choice for me to store secondary indexes.
Great database for any web based development!!!
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a web developer for years now and using MySQL has been a breeze. I originally used Microsoft SQL Server but I love how easy it is to setup a MySQL database. Also, it comes bundled with Wordpress which means that I have a strong database structure right out of the gate. Every command I have thrown against it works great and the support and community are always available to help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have anything I dislike about MySQL. In my usage (web development and open source development) everything I have thrown at it works without an issue.
The caveat to this is the configuration file can be difficult to setup. If you don't know what you are doing you can corrupt your whole database. The best practice to resolve this is to always make a copy of that file and then change the copy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since I use Wordpress mainly I use MySQL every day. I have been able to run some very complex queries when needed at it. Also, Wordpress integrates and builds the database for you. Another nice feature is being able to customize and extend the database to fit your specific needs
I have also used MySQL with custom built web applications and it handles that without a problem.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are building web-based applications in PHP, Python, or JAVA and you need to get started quick MySQL is the way to go.
best open source database
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer volume of knowledge surrounding MySQL makes it a no-brainer for using in any enterprise project: if you run into a problem you're almost guaranteed to find a solution online from someone who has experienced it before you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other RDBMS seem to get better and earlier support for new technologies, such as JSON datatype.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OLAP and OLTP. MySQL is an extremely reliable and performant RDBMS.
My experience with MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
I have never used a different database program, this is my first and I'm still learning.
I love how simple MySQL statements can be - select, use, etc.
You can start very basic and get more in depth, and it's not *simple* to learn but it's intuitive enough.
I like the organization and all the reports you can run/all the information you can view about tables.

What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like getting started. When I first started with MySQL it was one of the first times I had ever touched Terminal, and I had no idea what I was doing. When I was asked to type into terminal the /path/to/mysql, I actually typed in /path/to/mysql
Other than that, there's not a whole lot that I actually dislike!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're hosting customer databases in MySQL, and making sure all their tables are clean, repaired, and optimized.
We had issues with MySQL 5.6 sometimes stopping on I believe Yosemite, and other issues with PID file as well as with 5.7, but now that I'm aware of these issues it has become a lot easier to direct customers towards a solution.
We host everything on MySQL so having only one platform to work with is great.

I really can't say a whole lot, but if I could familiarize myself with MySQL, I'm sure many others could as well.
Learning MySQL syntax can be done!
What do you like best about the product?
If you are diligent even a non-developer can learn MySQL syntax for queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues to report does what is required when you have some of the basic syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from data silos to point solutions.
Useful tools for database
What do you like best about the product?
usability, scalability, support, architecture
What do you dislike about the product?
Development environment can be a challenge initially but goo to pick up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database management, database querying, building complex databases
Management customer data about web services
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL has basic functions to manage database of various data. Furthermore, it has function about replication. There are many information about using MySQL on www so we can use MySQL with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
Investigating "Why this data corrupted?" is very costful. I like MySQL but we need another tool to help developers debugging database problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make citizens life better by creating web services. concrete idea is still considering.

MySQL review
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very old product so it has lots of documentation and examples to show how to do what you want. Even if it is a fairly odd use case. It is a time proven product that is still very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that could be improved on that other databases have. MySQL could use to look at the features of newer databases and implement them. It would really help to make MySQL even more desirable and easier to use in specific situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
storing data. The benefits of using mySQL are many and are better found by doing a simple google search of it than reading them here.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely look at different databases to find the one that works best for the situation you are trying to solve. There are different versions of databases that are almost the same as MySQL but with different features that could help in different use cases. MySQL is a great solution for many problems though, and is probably the most used database out there so far.
It's a little frustrating to set up
What do you like best about the product?
Unlike my preferred RDBMS, MySQL is free. However I don't regularly build projects that would exceed the limit of any free package offered by MS SQL Server. Beyond that, any argument that it will operate on any OS can be ignored now that the .NET Framework and other microsoft technologies are going open source. I believe Oracle hasn't spent enough time improving usability and ease at which applications can be built. It's still complicated and clunky to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while to set up, and the website containing the download packages make you do a little guess work as to what exactly you should be downloading. I also really don't like the user login side of things - if you forget your password, you have to do some ugly work-around to reset it. I don't have any of these issues with MS SQL
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I tried to give MySQL a chance, but I don't see its benefits in comparison to the speed at which I can build applications with other products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make downloading the correct package more evident to your users! I often found that I would try to download the software not realizing I required additional packages/downloads to complete the tasks I intended to do which resulted in wasted time trying to figure out how to set this software up. At this point in time I would not recommend MySQL over something like MS SQL Server.
