### "The simplest and quickest way to query data"

September 8, 2020

5.0

MySQL has helped me analyze data on several teams. In the 6+ years I've used it, I've never seen it crash. The support is great for learning nuances and suggesting new features.

Pros

Using MySQL is incredibly easy for anyone who's familiar with querying data from a SQL server. I have used MYSQL at three different companies and couldn't be happier with it.

Cons

There are a few features that are missing for data review and presentation, but that's not really what the platform is designed for. This program is a great complement to other data visualization and dashboard tools.

### "DataBase Management"

June 27, 2018

4.0

Its connectivity, speed, and security make MySQL Server highly suitable for accessing databases on the Internet

Pros

MySQL is a multiplatform software (linux, mcOS, windows), when this software is used, quick answers are obtained when making queries, because it is free and has severe functionalities, saving money helps.

Cons

Most of the functionalities of this software are not fully documented, nor is it as intuitive as it seems. When they are very large database is not so optimal

June 10, 2021

5.0

I have been working with MySql for 1-2 years, I recommend it to any developer working with relational databases.

Pros

The easy interface plays a big role, but the data visualization is more, I like them both, I have never found a problem with the design or the entire system.

Cons

The interface is so easy, any one can understand it and get easy to their needs, but it is not modern.

Pros

Its free version is great for learning to use relational databases. It's very popular so it's easy to find a solution to any problems you might face with it.

### "A good solution for database management"

August 6, 2020

4.0

Overall, MySQL is a great tool for database management system solutions. It is robust and full of features and has ongoing development for a noticeable time ahead. It's free to use and has great performance and scalability. It can be recommended easily.

Pros

MySQL is probably considered the most popular database management software. It's open source and there are numerous projects that are made using MySQL. Some key benefits include a dedicated team (owned by Oracle) that is very driven and focused on improving and integrating new and better features, having good performance and designed with a focus on web, cloud and big data. It is easy to scale up when needed.

Cons

It might be difficult to start out using MySQL if you are are a beginner. There are also some modules used in MySQL that are closed and not open source after it's purchase by Oracle.

### "MySQL is one of the popular database managers"

August 15, 2018

4.0

With the help of MySQL, I have been able to implement simple and complex developments. No doubt Mysql is a good option, especially when it comes to development of custom made applications and personal not so complex.

Pros

Its popularity has led to various programming languages can establish a connection and interaction with databases. With the help of ODBC, good interaction can be achieved and applications of very good quality can be implemented.

Cons

In a personal way I have found some syntax problems, since there have been some changes in the different versions. So some applications developed in previous versions may not work with recent versions and cause problems of communication or execution of tasks in the developments.

### "Start database work here"

September 24, 2019

4.0

Mysql is really good. I use it for my projects, study and work. I like using MySql work-bench to design ER diagrams.

Pros

Mysql command line and workbench which helps me to switch back on forth for db creation and checking and designing ER diagrams.

Cons

The way it stops working in middle and we have to restart the connection. And resetting the 'root' password

Reason for choosing MySQL

Because it it easy to use and very simple to understand for begineers

### "My First SQL"

March 13, 2019

4.0

This is what I started learning my DBMS on, I found the experience to be great learned a lot. A great place to start learning once you have the basics down you can always switch to something more advanced and user friendly.

Pros

Its easy to use, gets the job done, Open source and hence free. if you are just starting out its a great tool to learn.

Cons

The interface is cmd and when the tables and queries become larger things could get a little difficult to under stand. Other tools with greater interface and advance features outshine it.

November 7, 2022

4.0

Pros

the speedIn database systems, speed is defined as the time taken to execute a query and return results to the query, and it is very important for the success of any database system, and MySQL has achieved high results in this field by performing better than most of its competitors, including commercial systems such as Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2 This performance is not just a coincidence

Cons

Compliance with existing rulesMySQL makes it look good in ANSI SQL-99, it adds more support for databases and codes, MySQL extends the ANSI standard to add data units suitable for loading, gives more functionality, and Unicode support and software packages provide good support and Improved with each release.

December 31, 2019

5.0

Creating, managing, and deploying databases, integrating databases with IDE.

Pros

MySQL is not only one of the most popular database engines, but also one of the most solid and robust among open-source databases. All of its products are well developed and they can be integrated easily. If you are working on web development, cloud computing, or big data Analytics, MySQL can be a great database for your project.

Cons

I think that compared to other more established databases, there are still some features and maturity lacking from MySQL.

Mysql queries require understanding of sql programming language in order for them to execute successfully. This therefore makes it a bit difficult for beginners to run their queries without running into syntax errors.
