### "A great solution, especially for backup"

June 9, 2018

5.0

Being able to back up and restore my website is great.

Pros

I love the ability to quickly export and backup my entire website database. It has a great number of features that I don't get to use, but it's very useful even for one or two features.

Cons

The learning curve for MySQL is fairly steep. It's a little difficult to figure out the software and how to use various tools.

September 7, 2019

I have not had any bad experiences with MySQL so far.

Pros

MySQL is incredibly useful for a beginner. When I first started learning SQL, MySQL was easy to setup and use straight away.

Cons

After setup, the learning curve can be high, but only in the beginning. It then becomes intuitive fairly quickly.

### "DB Backend Companion"

October 24, 2016

4.0

I have used Oracle, SQL server for backend storage for many years. But for the last 3 years, I extensively used MYSQL for my all application development. I am wondering what a great tool which replaces Oracle and SQL Server, and becoming the mostly used one by every company. I would say that there is no company without MYSQL. MYSQL is ver easy to use, connect external systems and integration with many systems without any difficulty . I would say that MYSQL will became mandatory for everyone in few years. To achieve this,I think little bit changes required. UI Interface (Basically have an explorer where all components exposed. So the developers can easily drag and drop into the editor with input parameters which builds the query automatically) All the best for to be world leader.

Pros

Easy to use Easy to integrate

Cons

Procedures and Triggers may need improvement

### "Great value for quality database software"

December 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

We're using the community version which is free, and therefore a great value! We get quality database software at no cost. When we ran into a technical problem, we reached out to MySQL sales and support. We learned about their license fees and support. The explanation we got was thorough and helpful, and we might use the licensed version soon.

Cons

The set up process we found to be rather difficult, and transferring from one machine to another seemed unnecessarily complicated.

Pros

It is Free Open Source DB and it allows you to store a number of data. Its very user friendly and easy to toggle around.

so since this is free, the options you have is quite limited, but anyway you can always customize it for use.
