Features
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL is a great RDBMS. I like Common Table Expressions best
What do you dislike about the product?
MySQL its lacking in some features that other relational databases have like RocksDB storage engine, Columnar store, Temporal Data. The MySQL InnoDB clustering solution requires strict enforcement of primary keys everywhere which is not practical for 3rd party apps like Atlassian Confluence and Jira.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Service Desk relational data
MySQL is easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is friendly. It is easy to pull data and form reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance could be an issue. It sometimes hangs and takes a while to render data sets/reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mostly run SQL to pull data and reports
Great Database, very stable
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of implementation and the cross-platform nature.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit difficult to set up on Windows, but Linux is a breeze
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are collecting data through multiple sources to mine and establish trends with museum patrons.
used for database manangement
What do you like best about the product?
About MySQL, I like the ease with which a developer can building queries. Also, the MySQL database has a good api management and handling. It is Easy to learn for a beginner
What do you dislike about the product?
For MySQL workbence, i do not like the formatting and the old fonts used for the buttons and the UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used MYSQL in my studies to learn how to handle databases. I also use MySQL Workbench to practice query making and handling for fresh data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think its a good beginner's software. MySQL has not overly complicated use. So anyone can use it to practice and can be used in industry as well.
MySQL review
What do you like best about the product?
The performance of the database is just great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. We are pretty happy. We love the replication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transaction processing
awesome!!!
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use, the tools that comes with them is great.This is best database that can be setup with low much cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
II did not like the complexity in managing the database, when its comes some of the object maintenance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
works great with some frame works.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product has every thing a relational database needs.
mysql is fine small and medium size projects, not when you need at massive scale
What do you like best about the product?
its simple and easy enough to use. tooling is available, community is vibrant enough. developers are familiar enough. works well with java and other jvm related technologies.
What do you dislike about the product?
the out of box configuration is not suitable for heavy usage requirements. requires a lot of tuning. dba's usually are a pain to work with and there is always a disconnect with what is required from app perspective versus db perspective. it scales enough for a medium sized project. anything with ties to multi datacenter heavy usage is not mysql's forte. Replication performance in mysql is very version dependent and seems to improve with 5.7 onwards but still not suitable for things at scale. its not until developers start modifying the core of mysql engine, that real performance gains can be realized. its also not suitable in cloud centric development scenarios
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
simple datastore for various apps and processes. benefits include acid compliance and having not to worry about simple replication within DC and knowledge dissemination within/across teams. most dev teams are faimiliar with rdbms concepts and mysql in general. the simplicity is also its a downside for mysql since other db's like postgres are much better when it comes to free opensource db's.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if wanting to stick with a relational db, look at postgres, maria db. if wanting to move to a cloud provider, look at dynamodb or amazon rds. When ready to really move on to scaling applications look at cassandra, or other key value stores supporting eventual consistency models. cassandra, redis can most likely fulfill all needs if you can adjust your applications for eventual consistency and multidc replication schemes.
My SQL Review
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy writing scripts and I believe that this product is the best suited for it
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be a little frustrating when a script doesn't run
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Writing queries for a database
SQL made easy
What do you like best about the product?
It's very user friendly.As it is extensively used, I can always find some guiding resource when stuck.
What do you dislike about the product?
The need for data to be in tabular format. Makes it difficult to store data which do not have a tabular structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to store data. Scalability and ease of use are the two major benefits.
A Student Perspective
What do you like best about the product?
I currently use MySQL in a project that I am working on as a primary data store. It is fast, simple, and definitely one of the best open-source databases available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Personally, I (not too much) dislike SQL/relational databases, but that is just my lack of experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating complex database models using a relational database, MySQL triumphs in my use case over SQLite 3 and PostgreSQL
