Best known databases

  • November 20, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is an open source database which provides the actual idea of internal functioning and build structure. It support comprehensive transactional ability. It has a powerful build quality that is helpful for handling large data so that no dataloss occurs or data should be consistently available for processes. It also offers high data security that will help to protect data in efficient manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
It occurs some issue like in the lower version before 5.0 it doesn't support ROLE, commit. It also incurs some stability issues. Requires high memory to process as well as difficulty to debug and maintain the data inside. It also offers some sort of inconsistencies when used with other tools and softwares.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While development of some websites or softwares I usually uses python as a developing language. And generally they required a database to handle all the data so for that I generally used mysql to build sql database which is effective and efficient to provide data at times required. Along with this it also helps to manipulate add and terminate data rows as well as tables on direct command to it's command line.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As we know that it is the most known database in today's era which makes it recommended to all existing users and also for the non-existing users.
It also helps to store large data sets that help in supporting functioning of big websites.

Prefect database mysql

  • October 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If we talk about the best in MySQL then I think everything inside it is the best. Strong behavior, consistent nature, helps to integrate with big data to handle it, starting with atomic-like properties and working together and never disappointing you. It is easy to implement the query language to use it. Also, installing this server is the easiest task among the rest of the database servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
As we all know that nothing is right in this era, this database has some errors and limitations in its favor. Like I encounter a problem when using, when I need to store more than one value inside the cell of a table in MySQL, but it will not allow me to do so. However it also has some restrictions that use integer fields as primary keys and foreign keys.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As part of my final internship project, I needed to create a django website where I needed to integrate mysql with front and back to handle my database. At the time I wanted MySQL to choose my preferred database because of reliability and stability. This helped me to complete my project on time and encouraged me to develop more projects like this. However I think there are possibilities to go beyond what is there to serve the user.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Due to it's acid properties and long lasting support with robust behaviour, it is recommended to a wide range of users. It has some impressive usage to be used in large projects.

MySQL is a very novice tool to do a lot of great stuff with data.

  • October 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about MySQL in general is that it is very easy to code in. I have a lot of "new to coding" members on my team, and I find that using MySQL to code has helped them to pick up quickly. For example, the coding is very straight forward to English when using the expression "WHERE VARIABLE LIKE '%WORD%'".
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest dislike about MySQL is when you run a line of code that fails, the error message is either vague, or way too long to explain what actually happened. I have coded in R, and it explicitly tells you what is wrong, where with MySQL, sometimes you have a weird error message that you have to google, but the error only showed up because you forgot a comma or something simple like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working with big data. We are using MySQL to house all of our data, and this has been very good for us because MySQL works VERY fast with very minimal time out issues. We have been able to pull massive reports, build stored procedures, views, and tables to help us solve business problems through our company.

Structured database to use

  • October 21, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is likely to be the best database for MySQL. It has many obstacles. In addition, it provides security, system wide compatibility, reliability, redundancy and more for users. It has a good password protection protection enabled that keeps it secure and robust to use. It has a good range of constructions that can be used to create any type of field that can store URLs, images, text, numbers, here we will keep blank fields to fill later, which is the default or Can be set to zero or blank.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL is the best database to use for every level of work, it can be either beginner level or master level. This provides a good service, but sometimes it limits the user to usability by entering the same exact data defined under the field. Also this field does not support multiple inputs at the point of instance which causes the creation of some more tables to handle the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recently I have been involved with some django related project, where there was a need to set up a database to handle the data which should be secured and easily accessible data should be managed in future. At that time I used mysql because of the well-connectedness between compatibility, reliability, structured behavior and constraints. Apart from this it also allows to store a large dataset and can be accessed in no time. It also provides a good range of security algorithms, on which data will be protected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As I have discussed about it's wide usage it will definitely help to reduce effort and data linking time usage. Hence it would be recommended to use for the wellness and proficiency of the project or website.

Best RDBMS to start with

  • October 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the best and one of the simplest RDBMS for a newbie to get started. I started learning this when I was early in school in my undergrad. To date, this remains my favorite.

The query and its syntax are easy to learn and grasp for a newbie.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, there is nothing that I dislike about it. I used it in my grad school as well. At first, I was unhappy that it did not have a graphic based interface but then they came up with Microsoft workbench.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever you need to store structured data, it offers a one-stop solution. You can store bulk data and it offers very easy management of this data. It is one of the most widely used databases for enterprise applications.

While I was in my previous organization. I had built a monitoring application which provided real-time monitoring for business-critical applications and underlying infrastructure. We used to store all monitoring data into MySQL and then retrieve this data for reporting. Without this database in place, there could be no way in which we could have provided reports. Not only could we store reports but also we could retrieve data as old as 12 months. We later did have a data warehouse in place which stored archived data. But MySQL was a critical component in the performance of the application as well.
