MySQL the best Database tech out there.
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL provides ease of use. MySQL has cross platform support on which implementation and integration would not be a problem. I like the ease of connection to other programming languages and also management of large data querys.
It is best partnered with other open source products.
Pros:
- First off it is free and open source
- Excellent scale-able database system
- Works perfectly with Linux or Unix servers
- When paired with PHP MyAdmin you can easily work inside your databases from anywhere
- Excellent storage capacity and retrieval
- Can easily store millions of records without issue
- Did I mention it is FREE!

What do you dislike about the product?
It turns slow if you don't have a BEAST server to handle thousands of users at the same time.
More cons:
- Unless you want to be working in a command prompt you need to install 3rd party software like PHP MyAdmin to administrate the database; that said most hosting companies install these by default for you already.
- Some built-in functions to MySQL actually slow down queries to a crawl and ignore your indexes; for example using the DATE() on a datetime column ignores any index in that column.
- Not as robust as Oracle or SQL for large datasets; it will work but it does slow down performance as your data pool grows. Normally this does not happen until you get well into the millions of records and even then there are things you can do to speed up performance but it is worth noting it is not as fast out of the box as other enterprise systems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company posses hunders of databases which contains millions of records and i assure you MySQL is the best relational database management system that would meet the needs of the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The reason why I recommend this product is because many more people are switching over to it and it's fairly easy to use. New businesses or other new organizations would be ideal for this as it will be easy to transfer over from what they had before MySQL.
mysql for schools
What do you like best about the product?
free, plenty of help documentation available
What do you dislike about the product?
learning curve is a little tough. not as easy to obtain support as windowssql
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
used with our ubuntu servers, works well and always stays up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you use ubuntu or any other linux variation, good stable database
MySQL database comes free, deployment is easy, support is very quick and efficient
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL comes free and it has saved us a lot of money. deployment is extremely easy, support is always up and quick. We can add tables, edit and delete. Data migration and replication can also be done.
What do you dislike about the product?
unfortunately database conversion is not possible, they also don't provide mobile access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has saved us a lot of expenditure for being free as other DB's are quite expensive.
The all around best database for software applications
What do you like best about the product?
With only a small amount of simple syntax I can define all the necessary actions to build, maintain and access a database. Using MySQL is straight forward and intuitive. With a some practice, you can easily build a database for any application. The stability and scalability make it great for building large scale applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult at times to correct a mistake after you have run an incorrect command. Once a change has been made to a database it is very difficult to undo it. It would be nice if there was an easier way to revert to an older version of your database or an undo feature. Additionally it would be nice if there was a way to build a sandbox version of your database and then automatically update the live instance with changes from the sandbox after testing to insure safety/functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to use MySQL to build databases for smartphone and web based applications. It is a very efficient and dependable solution for storing and accessing data for applications with multiple users like social media apps and information sharing services. I can't see myself choosing any other database for mobile or web based applications in the near future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you haven't done database and also basic programming before then you should learn some of each before attempting MySQL. Taking a tutorial on SQL would also be good for first time users.

Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
I had really great experience with MySQL because it provides utmost Data security, high performance, compatibility ,On-Demand Scalability, Comprehensive Transactional Support, and round the clock uptime and flexibility of open source , Reduced Total Cost of Ownership and also complete workflow control
What do you dislike about the product?
Memory usage increased: If we use many stored procedures, the memory usage of every connection that is using those stored procedures will increase substantially.
Restricted for complex business logic: Actually, stored procedure’s constructs are not designed for developing complex and flexible business logic.
Difficult to debug: It is difficult to debug stored procedures. Only a few database management systems allow you to debug stored procedures. Unfortunately, MySQL does not provide facilities for debugging stored procedures.
Difficult to maintain: It is not easy to develop and maintain stored procedures. Developing and maintaining stored procedures are often required a specialized skill set that not all application developers possess. This may lead to problems in both application development and maintenance phases.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increased the performance of our applications- MySQL implements stored procedures slightly different which helps in increasing the performance of the applications. MySQL stored procedures are compiled on demand. After compiling a stored procedure, MySQL puts it into a cache. And MySQL maintains its own stored procedure cache for every single connection. If an application uses a stored procedure multiple times in a single connection, the compiled version is used; otherwise, the stored procedure works like a query.
Database mysql
What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is a very good database management software
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes crashes and the work gets stopped
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for a project to store a large number of database and it worked perfectly fine and I could load my database really fast with this and my work was done amazingly well with the mysql.
Seems rather user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I have very recently started using MySQL to manage data for a new project I'm working on. The ease of access to information and the organization is phenomenal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data tables can be very sensitive to changes, I've noticed that when editing databases that I need to be more careful about the implications of changes made.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, we're using the product to store preferences and data related to consumers and supply needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
The perfect database for web applications
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very adaptable database. It is also very fast when performing operations. On the other hand it has been very useful to deploy it on servers with limited resources. I like that no matter what server language I use in my web applications I can achieve access to the mysql database without any complications. This also helps me to interconnect applications through the same database
What do you dislike about the product?
Many advanced functions of MySQL do not have a good documentation, it is required to invest time in being able to find all the necessary documentation. And it's also an unintuitive database for a beginner user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to build the database of all websites and applications in the cloud that I have created in the company, it is a great tool for database and widely used in web apps. We are currently creating new products for cloud solutions, and this integrated NodeJS tool works perfectly. We have also integrated it into web applications created with php and python
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool, but they should improve the documentation for advanced functions. I like that it can be integrated to any type of server language, it is very useful to connect applications created in different languages from the same database. Finally, mysql does not come fully optimized, it requires several optimization adjustments to improve its performance. They are also simple optimizations that can be easily improved
