My overall experience with MySQL has been great, although I wish it had more features.

Pros

What I really like about MySQL is that it does a really good job at assisting you in database use and code. I also really like how MySQL is easy to use.

Cons

What I don't enjoy about MySQL is that it seems to be missing a few features other database software companies offer.

### "Excellent for mounting a database and quickly mounting an application"

March 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

Quick and convenient for projects on the web. It comes by default in the XAMPP development component. It has a remote management software (phpMyAdmin).

Cons

It does not have domains or CHECK. The validation must be done with TRIGGERS or in the system. It was free, but Oracle now has its best features and to access them you must pay.

### "MySQL is a powerful and popular DBMS"

October 5, 2020

5.0

MySQL was the first DBMS learnt from school and I have used it in so many project in my professional carrier specially to build backend dashboards.

Pros

The ease of using MySQL. This is down to the query language which is practically plain English. Also the availability of MySQL on so many webhosting platforms as well as freely on opensource distributions like WAMP, LAMP and MAMP

Cons

The schema-less structure of MySQL databases make it very rigid when it comes to scaling. The tables structure is defined prior to adding data and does not allow adding fields that were not defined. This is a problem when the requirements of a project change.

### "Because we all need to know MySQL"

December 9, 2019

5.0

I've enjoyed learning MySQL and I cannot think to use anything else. makes Wordpress better.

Pros

Makes Databases simple to use. I've been using it for years, since leaning Wordpress development and I have been able to learn how to setup DBs and edit parameters simply.

Cons

Needs some learning and not entirely end user easy. Not really a con, but you need to learn how to use it the right way otherwise you'll destroy your Database.

### "Flexible database engine for web and embedded applications"

January 28, 2019

4.0

We have been using MySQL for testing and deploying portals, and it's been very easy and cost effective.

Pros

MySQL is fast and very easy to implement for web and embedded applications. Design and deploying a new database is very easy with the management tools. The cost to implement is a faction of the license for Microsoft SQL.

Cons

Nothing much. Documentation at times can be weak, but loads of online community help really shines.

Database for a a few applications, both at work and in university.

Pros

One of the best DB managers that I have used. Very easy and intuitive to use, easy to get used to and to use with other apps.

Cons

Nothing to dislike, but I didn't use it in depth, for a more casual user of it is excellent. May be a little hard in the beginning to get used to.

### "Technical support is excellent"

April 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

Constant technical support who are very helpful. Software has a wealth of other features including integrating the SQL with Active directory to help single sign on.

Cons

The time to learn how to use the software is relatively high, but that's due to the mass of features. It's worth taking the time to learn all of that though.
