February 27, 2022

This is the best interface that I have seen ever. I and my team members are using this framework from last 2 to 3 years. This MYSQL Database comes with a lot of special things. This can blow your mind. In short I like the way it works very much.

Cons

This software for data storage and data manipulator can have much better interface. Even the new comer will totally agree with this point.

Easy to use and implement. I believe anyone can learn and use it.

Pros

Easy to create and manipulate tables. Written in plain English so anyone can use it.

Whenever getting/manipulating the data, you need to be really specific otherwise it is going to take long time. I know that some of my queries took 30 mins.

August 31, 2019

My overall experience with MySQL has been pretty positive. It gets the job done well for storing large amounts of data.

I like MySQL because it is a well documented open source transactional OLTP database which is great for production workflows.

Cons

I least like that this database management system is hard to configure at the beginning and needs a lot of support from technical folks.

### "A great tool to learn how RDBMS work"

November 11, 2019

5.0

I mostly used mySQL in academic environment, while taking classes in database management,PHP, and CMSs. I enjoyed working with it, loved the logic behind the relational tables and data organization, and retrieval.

Pros

It is a free industry-standard tool that is used in conjunctions wit a lot of data-driven applications. Knowing the principles of MySQL is extremely handy when working with dynamic data. I find its integration with PHP extremely important because these are utilized by a lot of content management systems I work daily with.

Cons

Mastering syntax may be challenging, especially when you want to try some co molex operations or want to build an app.

### "An easy software for SQL but need high laptop configuration to work smoothly"

July 27, 2021

4.0

My experience overall is quite decent. And I love working with MySQL and it saves my lots of time.

Pros

The function of making the codes look clean is good. You just type your code and MySQL will automatically beautify your code by pressing just one key. The codes are extracted easily and the User Interface looks good and easily understandable. If you have a knowledge of SQL the MySQL is the best software to work with.

Cons

Everytime I run data of more than 50 MB MySQL hangs for a minute. My laptop started being slow whenever I work on MySQL. Some I have faced issue with a code not working for which I had to close and open again MySQL.

### "Personal Review"

June 13, 2021

4.0

I am using MySOL for a long time to manage my data which I use it later for developing different software

Pros

The way I can handle access control and permission is one of the best features of this software. This feature make my data much more secure and the way how easily these features can be added to the data is simply amazing. The way this software integrates with other software is one of the best in the market.

Cons

The fact that it does not have a debugging tool is one of the feature that is missing and adding that feature would improve the software a lot more and makes users life a lot easier by saving time to find the mistakes.

### "Best database out there"

June 21, 2020

5.0

Overall MySQL is an amazing database that is able to work with almost any backend framework. I would recommend this to any developer out there.

Pros

I really enjoyed how MySQL is able to many backend frameworks. We used MySQL for our Flask application and it was extremely reliable and intuitive to understand.

Cons

Like any database, it takes awhile to get use to. However after a few week you'll be amazed by the performance and reliability of this database!

### "Review For MySql"

March 15, 2021

4.0

Mysql has helped me manage relational data in a very efficient way. Query interface that it provides is amazing. Overall UI is super simple to make it a top notch option.

Pros

The interface and the ease to set My sql up. Plus it is super easy to use. UI is amazing and self explanatory. Other database management systems have complex or not very helpfull UI. Mysql beats them all by its ease of usage. Data management is easy. A good one for the people who have to relation data.

Cons

Sometimes if you are running mysql through Xampp server, Mysql shows running but navigating to browser does not load it up. Have to restart Xampp or tick/untick to make it work. But it's not that big an issue.

January 12, 2023

MySQL makes it possible to quickly implement solutions that store useful data for the company

Pros

We have been using MySQL for several years, it is quite easy to maintain and easy to use. It is interconnected with PHP, the PHP/MySQL couple is really effective

Cons

it will still take a MySQL expert to set up the Cluster in order to have redundancy. The MySQL engine is sometimes a bit slow, and lacks power

### "Mysql better and easier to use than any any other Relational Database"

February 22, 2020

5.0

Overall experience with MySQL was very positive.

Pros

I found MySQL very easy to use. It provides simple SQL queries to write. We used it a lot in my previous company and it was very good in performance. Although NoSQL databases are growing, but MySQL becomes very important when it comes to handling transactions.

Cons

It becomes slow as data increases and once data increases beyond the size of the machine on which it is present, maintaining clusters becomes difficult.

### "One of the best opensource RDBMS out there !!!"

November 18, 2017

4.0

Saves cost on our in-house tier 3 applications. Stable and easy to handle

Pros

Simple, easy to learn and manage. It is lightweight, and ideal for small applications. Saves licence cost of using costlier RDBMS when not needed. Well supported since Oracle Corp. purchased it

Cons

Can hit performance issues when data volumes are high and queries are complex. Advanced RDMBS features not available, hence will have to migrate when need arises

### "MySQL for Full Stack Pros"

February 18, 2022

5.0

Pros

MySQL is widely adopted as being the only choice for modern web dev’s who work with database facilities. Hence, assuming it’s inclusion is second nature.

Cons

The software has been through a change in recent years leading to many people switching to Mariadb however it still stands on its own two feet as a valuable asset for open source.

### "One of the largest databases systems in the world, and I can see why, so powerful."

March 9, 2018

5.0

I am able to power all my websites from this database, and used correctly, it'll work flawlessly.

Pros

I've been using MySQL for about 10 years now, and still learning new things with it. It's powerful as I can query millions of records in seconds. It's flexible and powerful to be able to power websites of all sizes.

Cons

Other database systems can have multi-dimensional queries, would love something like this in MySQL, however, it'll probably never happen as it's against the way MySQL is structured / operates etc.
