### "Powerful Database Tool"

May 15, 2019

4.0

I used MySQL during school, work, and personal projects. It was my first database management software and after learning it, I’ve never felt the need to grow accustomed to another database software. Would recommend to others to use.

Pros

MySQL provides a very efficient means of creating and managing databases. The software comes with a logical framework that enabled me to fully utilize the features that I needed.

Cons

When writing scripts, the syntax of the code is very important, which leads to an increased amount of time expenditure when debugging code that is written without careful attention to syntax.

### "It is an excellent database manager with which you can also learn easily and easily."

June 19, 2018

5.0

SQL is an international standard declarative communication language within the databases that allows us all to access and manipulate data in a database, and it can also be integrated into programming languages, for example ASP or PHP, and in combination with any specific database, for example MySQL, SQL Server, MS Access, among others

Pros

The ease with which you can learn to manage my own database, manage a large amount of data of your company or personal project also giving a security impression

Cons

The information security breaches could improve, so that buyers have a higher level of reliability when purchasing this product.

### "Free Database Server"

May 26, 2019

4.0

We started using Mysql because it was a free product. A very successful product. Being managed from the command line makes the job a little difficult. Apart from that, it works smoothly. Service support is minimal.

Pros

Application free. No fees are paid. No performance issues.

Cons

It can only be managed from the command line. If you want to use GUI, different GUI products can be used. This makes management difficult. Service support is minimal.

Pros

Its free, consistently refreshed, quick and dependable, in reverse viable, instinctive, easy to use interface, generally utilized, viable with practically all programming dialects I know and use.

Truly cant think about any cons.... as a web engineer I can't say I have a few issues with the data set. Most likely the way that its organization claimed and not local area driven but rather still beautiful strong information base

### "Database Schema at your service for free !"

January 10, 2019

4.0

Overall it's a great database schema with great help over the Internet to handle dataset but some functionalities it must improve upon to keep up with the competition.

Pros

1.It's a Database Schema. There is no charge that you need to pay for MySQL, so use it as much as you want free of cost. 2. They have a very large user base, so you can get help for any small or big thing from Internet. 3. There are many tutorials available online, so once you are through it you can do wonder with the data ! 4. For every data file you need to have one server, that gets hectic sometimes.

Cons

1\. There are some competitors like Oracle, which are having good pace, so in someway MySQL should also continue to move ahead and remain at par. 2. It should have support for XML files. 3. It gets little slowed down, when the data is huge. So, please look into this part.

### "High performance, reliable, easy to use"

March 22, 2018

4.0

It can be installed on all operating systems such as UNIX, Solaris, Linux and Windows without loss of performance

Pros

The low cost in the requirement for the development of databases, since due to its low consumption can be executed in a machine with fewer resources without any problem.

Cons

A large percentage of MySQL utilities are not documented. It is not intuitive, like other programs The size of the database although in theory it is scalable up to 8 TB, MySQL can not work efficiently with large database. In this context, other platforms such as Oracle are efficient performer with large-scale data.

### "Free and Reliable Software for Data Handling. What else do you need !"

November 21, 2018

5.0

There is nothing more you can or should expect from a free software.

Pros

MySQL allows selection from a range of storage engines and databases. It enables the user to handle data from different table types. It is incredibly reliable and does not stress resources. The interface is easy and batch command feature allows you to handle large amount of data.

Cons

It lacks capability to deal with scaling of data. Also the user guide can be helpless in understanding the problems at times.
