### "Top Database management system"

January 18, 2023

5.0

Pros

Since it is an open-source database, it is popular and fast. Community support and Oracle's own support are outstanding. I use it with Python and Node.js, but it supports multiple backend programming languages. Even beginners can learn how to use it quickly because of its amazing UI.

Cons

Few bugs while working, sometimes I have to close and re-run the application again. I don't know if the problem is with my system or the application.

### "An open source database that is a worthy competitor to commercial databases."

May 16, 2018

5.0

A reliable (apart from the MySQL driver issues) RDMS which I use every day on my Wordpress installations.

Pros

Being an integral part of a WAMP or LAMP server setup which is used regularly, MySQL has a strong user community, is fast and is easily administered with PHPMyAdmin. There are also several other GUI's that can be used to administer a MySQL installation.

Cons

Occasional problems with the MySQL drivers/connectors e.g. using PDO v MySQLi v MySQL and the resulting problems with performance.

### "Great database for beginners and experts alike, for small website or large ones"

October 3, 2017

5.0

Pros

MySQL is a great database that allows for the speedy storage and retrieval of data. It is stable and feature filled.

Cons

Slow to support newer standards. Even though it supports JSON data it is still missing many useful features that would make working with JSON much easier.

### "MySQL"

November 22, 2019

5.0

It is good and we can easily install it with LAMP.

Pros

The best feature of MySQL in my viewpoint is because it is free and open-source. We can easily create databases.

Cons

I didn't find any cons in this software. Most of the students opt this for creating their databases in their projects.

### "Fast, powerful and free (if you know how to use it)"

December 27, 2019

4.0

MySQL is great for implementing powerful database driven applications once you have the expertise to do so. Performance is comparable to enterprise products, however, this will be at a cost of enterprise compatibility, support and reliability.

Pros

Excellent value for its (free) price Low footprint makes it perfect for lower end / virtualized systems Excellent online support community

Cons

Not as robust as commercial / enterprise alternatives Strong learning curve if you are using the community edition and are accustomed to traditional enterprise solutions Compatibility with enterprise platforms may be limited

### "Convenient database management system"

January 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use MySQL to manage databases. The main advantage of the system is high speed and reliability, and an API is used for quick interaction with applications. You can work with MySQL on Windows and Linux, which cannot be said about other Microsoft products.

Cons

There is no function for creating reports, and in addition, the ability to synchronize several database clusters is not supported - to perform this function, it is necessary to use third-party services.

July 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

MySql is a good relational database. It is good for beginner level problems that don't rely on scalability.

### "Great database manager, with ease of use for users in database initiation and management."

April 28, 2018

5.0

Easy to use and install, it is very convenient for creating tables.

Pros

The software has a great capacity for data management, it is very comfortable to work with tables when creating databases, operable in different operating systems, which increases its ease of use and integration.

Cons

This software is suitable for the data I handle, I cannot say that it is the best of all, as far as I am concerned and for the use I give it is perfect.

### "Widely used database that could be replaced by NoSQL"

December 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

MySQL, a relational database, makes it easy to access and modify databases using standard SQL commands. Most teams don't need a NoSQL database, and so the more universal understanding of SQL commands makes MySQL easier to operate.

Cons

As a relational database, MySQL may encumber developers who need to explicitly define the schema, making it expensive to edit the schema later on.

### "What's not to like?"

September 22, 2020

5.0

I have used tables with millions of rows that performed perfectly fine (again, as long as proper indexes are set up and queries are thought out)

Pros

As a developer, MySql has always had more features than I have needed. As long as your design your database tables well with proper indexes and what-not, MySql was able to handle however much data we threw at it.

Cons

I don't know that there is anything fun about configuring a database deployment, but I don't know that I can blame MySql for that.

### "Not as full featured as expected. Adequate Basic SQL database management"

March 3, 2022

3.0

It is OK and considering the price, I would do this again.

Pros

The inexpensive price and and ease of setup.

Cons

Some fo the basic SQL functions needed in most implementations are missing. Most of the needed features required development of work-around steps through scripting tools.
