### "The best open-source database management system"

March 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

Being a multiplatform software, you are able to migrate very easily from one system to another. Besides that, there is a giant community that we can learn from and share code resources.

Cons

On low specs servers it doesn't have the same performance as other database managers.

### "MySQL: A Staple in DBMS"

February 26, 2021

5.0

Overall, MySQL provides a decent DBMS solution for web applications, even though other competitors have sprung up as well.

Pros

MySQL has been my go-to choice for database management systems for most of my college projects. Thanks to its popularity, it has great documentation and provides a fairly standard database management experience. On top of that, it is easy to deploy and use and provides a wide array of APIs for different programming languages.

Cons

While using MySQL through the console is a seamless experience, the graphical interface provided for database management could definitely be worked upon.

### "A relief from chaos!"

September 17, 2019

5.0

We didn't want to install another SQL server, and were not going to have a huge DB to work with. Just needed something to help find some trends, so we could make accurate projections.

Pros

Open source. That says it all. It is easy to use, and if you get stuck, (or lazy and want someone to do a chunk of the work for you), just ask the community. They are responsive, and you always find someone who has either already done it, and wants to help, or someone that likes puzzles, and wants to help you figure it out. Install is easy, configuration is a snap, and it really does everything you need a database system to do.

Cons

Haven't really run into anything that couldn't be solved. Every time I got stuck, I found someone who had "been there before", and was willing to help.

### "Old Faithful is Still the Way to Go"

October 7, 2020

5.0

Use it on the reg—and it works day in and day out. No need to change to a more modern solution.

Pros

The gritty, dependable database that so many people love to hate is still the best choice in my book. A huge body of knowledge and track record of scalability. Can't really beat this product.

Cons

Some features are dated and scaling is more challenging than some other systems that are built with scale in mind.

### "MySQL is Powerful"

May 7, 2021

5.0

Overall experience with mySQL is good, although since the syntax is similar but not exactly the same as T-SQL, it may take some time to acclimate to it.

Pros

This is great for small businesses who want the power and complexity of databases without the cost. The syntax is very similar to T-SQL and so anyone who knows that can use mySQL.

Cons

I think mySQL has all the features it needs; I haven't come across any that I've needed, but weren't there.

### "First relational database I used to get started"

May 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

Excellent free open source database I used to learn about relational databases and sql. Very easy to use.

Cons

I did not use it as extensively but during my time it was good enough for our small project in college. However, there is a free version and a paid version so there are limitations using it unless there is a paid license. Not entirely ACID compliant either

### "Review of MySQL"

January 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

The software was extremely helpful with running queries through SQL. The display is very intuitive and neat and makes tables very easy to read and understand.

Cons

Initially connecting to a server was difficult. The software was helpful with steps to connect but as the user you still had to establish a secure connection, that may not necessarily be secure.
