### "MySql is a db I am most comfortable with "

October 11, 2017

4.0

Pros

Ease of setup and use CLI being the primary interface of interaction, it makes the user comfortable with sql queries and increases our sql knowledge with time Being open source is an added advantage, due to which small enterprises use it heavily. And I have used it for some of my own personal projects as well Very easy to setup Community support is great.

Cons

It is limited when it comes to huge amount of data. It is not able to scale as well as the other competitive enterprise database management systems.

### "Opensource way to create a useful database management system"

February 10, 2021

4.0

Gret to get your feet wet with RDBMS package for small business. Skilled reources needed to configure and set up. That may lead to higher overall cost of ownership.

Pros

Open source meaning data security is assured cross platform compatible across linux/windows Free to use - both for personal and professional use Abundant (plethora) of online forums to support

Cons

Not as easy to use as other competitors Integration with other platforms like MS Excel, reporting, data mining is cumbersome Not as efficient as DB2

### "MySQL - User friendly Database"

January 10, 2023

5.0

Using MySQL software we can easily store and retrieve data so that we handle our projects easily and our data will not get lost if any error occurs in our integrated software. We can host the MySQL in server and using multiple machine we can add the data to MySQL database.

Pros

SQL query is very simple and understandable, so that everyone could use it easily. It is more reliable and robust when compare to some other databases. We can integrate it with many software, I integrated it with UiPath for my project requirement. It feels more easy and stable to store more amount of data.

Cons

MySQL requires an additional drivers when we are try to integrate with other software. It is the only thing that I could find as a disadvantage.

### "Solid product that is comparable to much more expensive solutions"

March 17, 2022

5.0

My overall experience was very positive.

Pros

It is relatively easy to learn and use and it is free or very inexpensive depending on the goals and tasks and options chosen.

Cons

MySQL cannot support very large databases or is less efficient compared to more professional products (Oracle). Performance can be substandard and the system is not as stable if the database is too large. Some procedures such as ROLE and COMMIT are not available at least in the free version of mySQL

### "It allows working in client-server mode, and is very good"

May 10, 2018

4.0

Is very interesting and very good

Pros

The software is Open Source. Speed when performing operations, which makes it one of the managers with better performance. Low cost in requirements for the elaboration of databases. Low probability of corrupting data, even if the errors do not occur in the manager itself, but in the system in which it is.

Cons

A large percentage of MySQL utilities are not documented. 2. It is not intuitive, it is a bit complicated in the interface but only with a little practice you get used to it.

Cost effective solution for the school when needing to build applications with a simplistic data platform then mysql it is.

### "Most Useful Database in learning and it is free as well!"

June 12, 2021

5.0

It is great since we used it in learning how the ins and outs of database management. It is very flexible and you can use it while learning even in making a professional website.

Pros

MySQL is free and it is very starter friendly. You can use it on your website if you are deploying in a local network but you can also connect it online. It also have the functionality like other premium database management. It is also versatile because you can connect it with different programming language like PHP or even a Android based project.

Cons

It's kinda hard to set it up at first which is very annoying and sometimes the apache feature is not functioning and it needs restart.

### "Easy local and remote database management"

April 15, 2021

5.0

I'm super satisfied with the software's ease of use and features.

Pros

It's super easy to get started with MySQL, regardless of the software you used previously. As someone who helps clients migrate their websites often, I'm more than satisfied with the software itself.

Cons

Even though you won't need too much time to get used to the interface, it still has a lot of features which may look scary at the beginning.

### "Solid database solution"

November 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

MySQL provides all the features and options I need for the types of things I do with a DB. The quality of the software gets progressively better (although maybe not in huge leaps these days), and it's a great solution for tons of things.

Cons

This is a tough one for me, because although I'd have issues in the past, I can't really point to any of them now, probably from a combination of the software improving, me getting used to working with MySQL, and just me not remembering all the problems from the past.

### "The once king of relational databases"

January 4, 2021

5.0

I started using MySQL at the very beginning of my software development journey. It is a comprehensive suite for your databases requirements but It has definitely fallen behind postgres in terms of features. That being said its a great database offering and still holds strong in the domain of relational databases

Pros

1\. It has great community support. Has been the most popular relational database until recently. 2. Has a great workbench application. 3. Very optimized 4. Available on almost all hosting platforms 5. Has connectors for all popular programming languages

Cons

1\. It lacks support for modern features such as NoSQL and json objects which are supported by postgres. 2. It is not always acid compliant ( depends of engine used)

### "I like it but it tends to crash on me"

January 10, 2019

3.0

I use MySQL to review customer details, orders details and resolve general customer support questions and requests.

Pros

Easy to use, clean interface which is important especially for newbies to SQL. It is easily one of the top rated SQL programs. I think you it would be difficult to find something better.

Cons

The system tends to crash quite a bit and becomes unresponsive. The crashes occur even with simple queries. I believe the problem depends upon the number of results/rows the query brings up.

### "MySQL is the best database for product data."

October 22, 2020

5.0

Pros

We are in textile sector and we store our product inventory in MySQL database. It is fast, reliable and easy to manage database. It can be easily integrated with third party applications like accounting programs.

Cons

MySQL meets our requirements in an excellent way, for this reason I do not have any serious objection about MySQL that worth to tell here.

### "The best database for developers"

October 22, 2019

5.0

We use MySql database for storing data for our in house applications that we write.

Pros

The best thing about MySql is that it is popular and is easy to integrate with. It is used by a lot of people so it is easy to find out how things are done or to get it to work with what you want to do. There are a lot of options simply on the fact of how many people use it and the fact that it was open source for so long.

Cons

The biggest downside with this software is that it is no longer open source and I believe Microsoft has bought it.

### "Simple with MySQL"

September 29, 2020

5.0

MySQL has provided a robust and simple solution to manage and run our clients databases. We could not be happier. General cost savings are also a plus.

Pros

Extremely simple to deploy and run on our servers and has been very stable. Data migrations as well as importing client site databases could not be easier once set up.

Cons

It can be a learning curve if something goes wrong. Especially so when training staff to manage this task.

Reason for choosing MySQL

Best solution for our needs.

### "Excellent Transactional SQL Database!"

March 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

MySQL has a low cost of entry, with the community version being open source. With it being open source software, there is a ton of reference material and documentation available to make administration and development easier to learn. MySQL is very powerful, driving some of the busiest web sites on the internet. Configuration options are almost endless. Technical requirements are relatively low, since the database server focuses on efficiency versus lots of user interface niceties. There are plenty of tools available, both from Oracle (the owners of MySQL) and third party developers that can be used to manage the servers and databases.

Cons

There's not a native way to sync multiple clusters of databases. There are third party tools to do this, but it would be nice if there were a native capability built-in to keep enviroments somewat simpler.

### "Gestionar bases de datos es eficaz con MySQL !"

March 27, 2023

4.0

Para aplicaciones de back end en las que se necesite una base de dato con la que trabajar.Ejemplos de aplicaiones desarrolladas con MySQL son inventarios y gestión de la producción asi como sistemas de control de defectos.

Pros

Es muy buen sistema de base de datos para cualquier tipo de aplicación.Me gusta sobre todo la característica de replica basada en registros.

Cons

No tengo en contra nada pero por poner un pero seria que no es un software barato el precio podía ser algo menor.
