MySql or not to MySql
What do you like best about the product?
Okay I generally start with this, but it's free!!! And so simple!!!! I started using Microsoft SQL Server back in 1999 in my first real job and have been on friendly terms with it ever since. However MySql has been there and thereabouts for a while and for the past 4 years or so I have not seen any reason why I should go back to paying. The utilities are excellent, the stability and upgrades can't be faulted, and it's light.
What do you dislike about the product?
Genuinely I have no dislikes. To be extremely extremely picky, the login box on MySql Workbench ( a GUI utility just like Enterprise Manager) sometimes hangs. But so what. If Microsoft could claim something like that was its weakest point, we would be overrun with Bill Gates shaped uber robots and no other OS would exist.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using MySql as production db servers for all my clients. Alongside saving the client money on licensing, I can so simply configure all the tools, redundancy and backups I need. I don't think I can warrant going back to Microsoft SQL Server for our products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have even thought about it, give it a go. My bias lies in that I am a convert to Debian and the like, so free = good with me all the time. We run a number of db servers across our estate but (fingers crossed) the mySQL instances just don't give me hassle.

Stable and cost effective DB system
What do you like best about the product?
MySQL has proven that it can be a serious choice for enterprise level software. I find this product intuitive in a lot of ways -in terms of interacting with it as a user. It has been growing although not as fast as it needs to to be competitive. Some great things working for MySQL: They have been making code more modular. In MySQL 5.6, they moved one of the crucial locks ( the LOCK_open) in the MySQL Server to modular code which has the potential to improve performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features that allow MySQL to compete with noSQL technology are slow in coming. It lacks in maturity somewhat and some of the features I expect to be implemented by now are not there yet for example user security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its cost effective. We used it for small to medium scale operations.

Has potential

we use mysql to store our business related transaction data. mysql is very fast, stable and easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For transaction database and light weight saas development using micro service oriented architecture, mysql is the best database as far as I know. it works very well in my previous and current job. I strongly recommend it to any one who are considering different solutions of light weight rich support databases.
Its good enough, gets the job done when needed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Supply chain problems. Complex joins. In order to build reports though, we push this data to datawarehouse.
Mysql is flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Mysql is super tunable with lots of configurations to play around with. You could also use pluggable database engines like innodb or sphinx. I feel its very flexible add to it the benefits of being an opensource project.
What do you dislike about the product?
If the configurations are not tuned right in the first place it does take time to have it optimized for your usecase. Mysql is less intelligent in self optimizing to traffic compared with other popular database like oracle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an ecommerce company and our traffic is served thru mysql as a transactional database. cost effective and does the job very well. we use inno db as our database engine.
