June 19, 2018

4.0

Development of backend procedures

MySQL provide best development experience for database handling for variius applications. We can store our data in form of tables and use that data for applications

### "Good data management and extraction software"

June 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

easy to manage and store data, turnover time is fast. Restoration process is easy and straight forward. Easy to connect different data tables.

Cons

Sometimes it is hard to restore data (using command line). Need to debug some small issues every time. For large data set, it takes long time to restore. Query is slightly different from SQL

### "The essential database for our website and apps"

March 31, 2020

5.0

I don't administer the database but I know it's working constantly in the background of all of our applications. We couldn't power any apps without it and it's one our most valuable team members.

Pros

We use MYSQL for wordpress and our SaaS application and it's easily the best free tool that powers our business. It's essentially the backend of every application we use.

Cons

It's scale-able but not the easiest to cluster or scale large dynamic data like a big data application like its big brother couch. Still it works for 99% of the cases we or anyone would really need it for.

September 19, 2018

5.0

I feel I am very fast with MySQL than my group members, because it's easy to create database and tables.

Pros

Open source software. No need to write queries for create database , tables and other things. We can do those thing in couple of clicks. Performs well in larger workload.

Cons

MySQL has poor support for user defined functions and stored procedures. Backup features in MySQL take long time to import and export tables with many rows.

### "Satisfied so far"

April 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

I've used MySQL to create small projects for personal usage. You can expect all the basic features of a relational database management system to be present in this one. Though I am not a hard core technical person, I've used MySQL for developing few web based applications and it certainly is very robust and scalable.

Cons

Majority of the advanced features like cluster management, partitioning are not available for free, which is a huge drawback.

### "Great way to query databases"

March 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

MySQL is a great tool to query databases. I like that it shows the columns without having to query for entries. I also like that I can save all my previous queries

Cons

Filtering objects is a bit difficult if you don't know how to do it. I wish there was a generic search for names across tables

### "A very good database program "

January 11, 2022

5.0

I got to know the program during my studies, I also administered 2 internet forums, the knowledge of mysql helped in handling large databases, at the beginning I had difficulties with mastering the commands, there are many of them, but when you understand the logic, it's easier

Pros

My favorite thing is that you can create tables and databases like drawers for data, search countless amounts of data like google so that you have to be able to issue the appropriate command;)

Cons

At the beginning, a lot of minor errors are made, no gaps, wrong connections, etc. it would be nice if the program itself prompted the right options

### "Reviewing MySQL"

May 11, 2021

5.0

For business and organizations MySQL is provide easy solution to manipulate the user data and storing it securely. It is also base of database's programming language that students learns nowdays.

Pros

The most useful and impactful feature of the MySQL is it's an open source relational database that helps to store data , modify and extract data from structures. It is easy to use because it has layout like table form. Every one can use MySQL because it's free to use.

Cons

I think MySQL is little bit old now. Now days we can use NO-SQL for storing data and other is it's not providing higher security of data.

### "Great for Data, after Training"

January 5, 2021

4.0

My overall experience with SQL has been a positive one. After the steep learning curve, it is quite incredible what you are able to accomplish with the program.

Pros

The ability to contain and pull up any type of information you need at any time. There is no limit to what you can track and what information you can return.

Cons

Using SQL is quite difficult, especially without previous training or experience. I believe during implementation, the training could be a bit better.

### "Good relational database for SQL"

February 16, 2021

4.0

My overall experience has been pretty good with MySQL. It is flexible, supports multiple storage engines

Pros

I have use it quite a bit in my studies and it has been pretty easy to use, the interface is pretty clean as well and I haven't faced any data corruption when moving from one version to another. It is open source as well.

Cons

I don't think there is anything I don't like about it. The only thing which might go against it in being adopted in companies could be that since it is an open source, it does not have any dedicated support team.

### "MySQL is still alive"

July 31, 2020

5.0

I still use MySQL and PHP in my class. They are good and easy to learn.

Pros

MySQL is a good database management system for your web application. MySQL and PHP are the good friends. We can use both of them to develop different types of websites. In addition, the community of MySQL and PHP is huge. You can get a lot support from the existing community.

Cons

The security is one of the biggest issues of MySQL. In addition, it does not have advanced features as in other database management systems.

### "Quick and Easy"

September 30, 2019

5.0

I deal with data all day and constantly pull information from our database through this tool.

Pros

This is very quick and easy to set up. Querying is easy and viewing table setups is simple if you don't have too many schemas

Cons

The database schemas should be searchable. I deal with hundreds of schemas and sometimes I don't remember where I need to join tables and have to go searching by manually expanding schemas and tables

### "The most popular database client"

March 21, 2019

5.0

Using MySQL has been satisfactory as it has helped me a lot when dealing with database management and building webpages that required a lot of data handling. The abilities gained from learning MySQL has helped me in my career when using other similar products as they were very similar, so it is recommended to learn MySQL.

Pros

It will be easy to use once you've gained some experience with the commands and a bunch of features that it has. Most of the commands and features will be easy to master. It can also be paired with PHP MyAdmin, which is great if you're looking for ways to display your databases on a webpage. The best feature it has is that it is free! and it is one of the most popular programs so even if you're using other database managers you'll likely see that is fairly similar to MySQL, so it is always a good learning topic.

Cons

You'll need to learn MySQL and might not be easy to digest at first if you're used to other types of programming languages. Even if it is rather simple to master or learn to use most of the features you might run into issues once in a while, and the documentation might not be useful, so researching the internet will be required to find the fix you need.
