The Best Free Little Relational Database
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is like the GMC of databases.It's everywhere, it's easy to work on, and it's easy to find people who know how to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL is still clunky. You need to live in the command line. It doesn't abstract away the operating system enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Rarely is MySQL used for any reason other than it's bundled with the product you're already using, like WordPress.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're thinking about MySQL and you don't really know much about relational databases, back up. And if you're looking for a relational database option you should also be considering NoSQL options. If you don't know about that, back up.
amazing tool for simple PHP applications
What do you like best about the product?
data organization is good! easy to use and teach!
What do you dislike about the product?
NoSQL is trending now and graph db is not supported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to make simple PHP based automation applications
Recommendations to others considering the product:
better support graph db!
MySQL is the free DB that you should use!
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a SQL based relational database that's now owned by Oracle (eww). It's still free (community edition), supports all of the fancy things SQL Server supports as well as clustering!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish MySQL would support replication across availability zones in AWS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Persistence of user information for cloud enterprise software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
1) Make sure that your uses are fulfilled by a relational database and not a key/value store.
User-friendly SQL tool
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to lay down your projects visually with MySQL workbench a nice GUI makes working with MySQL a breeze. Its speed and stability are great too!
What do you dislike about the product?
Though I don't dislike anything about MySQL, I must admit the learning curve was a bit steep at the beginning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to integrate a full-featured SQL engine in a number of data mining applications. MySQL provides a fairly intuitive way to organize large datasets to be called later on in machine learning applications.
Great RDBS platform, but really stagnated once Oracle bought it
What do you like best about the product?
Still easy enough to use after all these years.
What do you dislike about the product?
After Oracle acquired them, progress and feature growth died. MariaDB seemed to pick up where that acquisition left off
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL is naturally the backend for a few WordPress sites we have (though we almost went with MariaDB out of spite against Oracle ; )
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you just need a regular WordPress or Drupal or conventional website with lower traffic, MySQL is still a viable option. But if you need to scale and provide high availability, then you need to look into MariaDB or even AWS Aurora. I'd also recommend using AWS RDS and creating clusters.
Great sql database
What do you like best about the product?
Been using MySql for years for website projects. Easy to use and great documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes needed to change configuration files for simple things to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to develop rapid websites with a full database backend using this product.
Great tool with help from developer
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can quickly run whatever reports I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is plane and unattractive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to run reports of all sizes with this tool. Now we know how our users are using our tool and if they need our help.
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

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
