MySQL has enterprise performance and features, but may have been usurped by other products
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use; ease of install; easy to maintain; great community -- lots and lots of community support; tons of third party paid support available; stable and mature
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to scale; not as enterprise-ready as postgres or Oracle; suffers from the general view that it is more of a "toy" RDBMS than, say, Oracle or postgres.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DB Backend for web-based SaaS product
MySQL software is Open Source
What do you like best about the product?
The speed in performing operations, which makes it one of the managers with better performance and easy use

Not consider the foreign keys and ignores the referential integrity, caused that it is controlled in development of the application
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

great platform to those who want to learn more about SQL and PLSQL. worldwide community support if stuck at any point in problem solving.
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.
Mysql does the work you need in a way you want
What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is the most popular and commonly used RDBMS. It is open source and free . It is a feature rich product that powers a lot of web-sites and applications online. It is relatively easy to get started with MySQL, it has a lot of third-party applications, tools and integrated libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared with SQL server rich functions, MYSQL does have functional limitations .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used MYSQL to create and store data used by web application. Compared with SQL server, it is much easier to use mysql to pull and get data from web app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great majority of web-sites (and web-applications) can simply work on MySQL despite the constraints. This flexible and somewhat scalable tool is easy to use and easy to manage -- which proves very helpful in the long run.Even though MySQL and some storage engines perform really well with read operations, concurrent read-writes can be problematic.
Implementing databases uses MySQL
What do you like best about the product?
The detailed user manual the accompanies MySQL
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring triggers was a bit of challeng. It requires that the Primary Key for the tables on which the trigger be set to INT. Setting Primary Key to VAR results in a trigger that doesn't execute.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am creating online databases for dynamic websites for clients in various fields. I have already used it to create a database that health facilities can use to manage patient data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Mysql is a rich DBMS with all that you need to create a database. It works well with other programming languages such as HTML, PHP, Python among others. The other benefit of using Mysql is the ready support that is available on online forums. So one never really gets stuck.Of course, this applies to all the other open source software. Lastly, I found the query facility really useful in manipulating data. Though I am still on the learning journey, I can say with confidence that MySQL is a great DBMS.
