MySQL provides great solutions for a variety of applications
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL allows us to mine through a large amount of data extremely quickly and can be learned by anyone with previous computer experience
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the user interface to allow for better learning of writing SQL queries. It is difficult to teach new employees how to write queries without simply giving them the queries we frequently use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store millions of samples, each with information associated with those samples. This allows us to search for groups of samples and identify where in our storage space those samples are located so that we can do further analysis on our desired samples.
Good SQL database tool
What do you like best about the product?
Database product has small footprint and doesn't take up much memory compared to other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Product isn't natively scalable and requires the need of add-ons to get the full use out of the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
mySQL can be used as a substitute to any other SQL solutions you are currently using
Makes using data base easier
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive - it makes storing data easy and I learned it very quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing- I have no memorable frustrations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
running online experiments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it
Robust implementation of true SQL
What do you like best about the product?
A robust SQL engine (which has gone from open source to Oracle ownership). Ideally suited for read vs transactional but moving in that direction. Ability to cluster, replicate and a whole host of tunability and monitoring Available on Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be better in both organization and examples.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL is the backend to our websites (Wordpress) and has handle multiple db projects where interaction with the internet was necessary.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solid product backed up by its ownership by Oracle.
An Intuitive and Robust RDBMS
What do you like best about the product?
I use the mysql community and personally, the mysql workbench is an intuitive tool and allows me to quickly get a job done. If you're just starting out on database, this is a must-learn skill.
What do you dislike about the product?
The workbench might contain some (non-critical) bugs which affects the display of the results. However, it should be noted that the advantages far exceeds its disadvantages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily using mysql for teaching and learning purposes.
MySQL is good for the masses
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL has a huge base of support, from the good manual, forums, blogs, YouTube, and more.
It doesn't have the feel of an overwhelming Enterprise system, yet can do that job well too.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much not to like about MySQL, it, like PostgreSQL are great environments.
I'm not sure if they've done enough to explain their 'Performance DB' though.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my last assignment I used a LAMP environment to replace a huge spread sheet with a web app, and MySQL was great for the job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, and don't be afraid of some terminal setup, there are lots of videos showing you how to do that little bit.
Maturity matters
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is 22 years old this month, and that matters. A database technology is only as good as its least-reliable part, and there aren't many holes in MySQL.
Because of its popularity over the years, there are solutions to nearly everything in MySQL.
MySQL is a strong implementation of a simple idea, without the headache of bells and whistles; it's the straight-razor shave of databases.

MySQL is a strong implementation of a simple idea, without the headache of bells and whistles; it's the straight-razor shave of databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL performance falls off a cliff with long tables in a way that other technologies don't. If you want to use MySQL to handle an implementation at scale, it requires some creative massaging (e.g https://medium.com/@Pinterest_Engineering/sharding-pinterest-how-we-scaled-our-mysql-fleet-3f341e96ca6f).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL handles reporting tables (produced via ETL jobs through Hive over Hadoop HDFS) with almost zero ongoing engineering effort. Coupled with the mature connections from almost any tech stack you can imagine, it's easy to implement MySQL to pre-compute larger queries based on larger data sources on a regular basis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to implement MySQL, and easy to move for MySQL to other products. Don't overthink it!
