June 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

The stability of the system, this is one of the reason that MySQL is wide-used on companies and the easyness to learn how to use.

Cons

It is a very powerfull database RDBMS but there are some better and more powerfull software. Also the documentation I think that it is not clear.

I have used MySQL installs for several websites over 10 years.

Pros

MySQL makes my wordpress install on client sites possible and easy to interface with. Database controls and insights help me keep everything function as it should be and manage many different users, sites and content.

Cons

Could be a little easier to use and manage, especially when it comes to the interface and ease-of-use for non programmers.

### "The best for sql databases"

December 21, 2018

5.0

It doesn't matter if it is for a simple database or a more complex one, this is super useful for developing, testing and deploying databases in a "simple" way.

Pros

Depending on the edition it has different features, but even with the "basic" one, it has everything you may need for managing databases on every need you have.

Cons

It has happened that the connection configuration is changed and it causes problems with the databases.

### "Best tool for storing big sets of data"

May 1, 2018

5.0

Learned a great skill set that employers love to see. I have my own personal database that I keep up and running on my site. Lots of language have SQL integration and the documentation is fabulous.

Pros

MySql is a go to. Best software to use to store all your big data. What is cool is that most companies use SQL .

Cons

There is a learning curve to the product. Takes a while to learn and get used to. As boring as it sounds, if you don't learn it, you will be completely lost.

### "MySQL a good open-source sql platform"

October 5, 2021

4.0

I started out with MySQL in my career as a data analyst. Then I didn't have any sql platforms to practice coding on. So it came handy.

Pros

I like how it is consistent with other sql-based platforms like MSSQL and PostgreSQL

Cons

I really don't have much to say about this

### "The open source choise"

September 23, 2019

5.0

MySQL is the choice if you are going to program in open source projects. is always my choice to use with Ruby on Rails.

Pros

Doesn't matter if you are starting in programming or you are veteran programming, you will always come to MySQL to use it in a project.

Cons

If you want to deeply customize it, you will have to read a lot of documentation, thus, is something that you will always have to do if you are a programmer

### "My SQL has great Databases!"

August 1, 2020

5.0

Using MySQL has been great for storing data in the web applications I've created. Once up and running it's convenient and easy to use.

Pros

Since I started doing software development about a year ago, I've found that the when I've needed a database, MySQL databases are the easiest I've found to use. I had to learn about some of their competitors but I've just always found these to work best and be easiest to use. Once I get it up and running I usually have no trouble with them. They come with some other things when you download it, but I've really just used the databases connecting to Java middleware.

Cons

When I initially downloaded MySQL I did have some trouble getting it up and running, but now that it's installed and up and going, it works great.

### "Add-ons help speed up work"

July 31, 2019

5.0

Pros

I use the MySQL server built into Oracle. It helps me to simplify work with databases. It's great that the service did not have to be connected separately, since it was immediately integrated into the basic version.

Cons

I often have to combine SQL queries in one chain. Because of this, you can lose a lot of information if a transaction suddenly fails. Information in this case is lost from the entire chain of requests.

### "Great for your next php website"

November 18, 2019

5.0

We are using MySQL mainly with our WordPress installations and it has been great so far without any major problems.

Pros

MySQL is easy to setup and with cloud options the costs of building and maintaining your own infrastructure are a thing of the past. Awesome documentation makes it easy to start using MySQL for any newcomer.

Cons

Few settings are a bit obscure (switching from using a disk to mainly using RAM).
