"Review of MySQL"

5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

What I like most about MySQL is it provides a clean and easy interface, easy to creates schema and can draw entity relationship diagrams. We can import and export all the queries in an easy manner. I like the integrity of MySQL on mutliple popular IDE's like Springboot, Eclipse, and many more. It also provides the features of backup and restore the data and database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

I faced an issue in MySQL while database connection in MySQL Workbench, as it shows server stopped error multiple time, and unable to find the proper solution of this error. Only this one i dislike in this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

MySQL is a relation database management system and it solving the problem of efficiently handling of large amount of data. Before this, all the data was stored on excel spreadsheet which is difficult to manage, and even high-end configuration system also got stucked while handling. but as the arrival of RDBMS system, it solves a very huge problem. This problem solving by MySQL that i am getting the benefit.

Apart from this, I also want to share how Eclipse integrate with MySQL :-

1. before making connection from eclipse to MySQL, there is a MySQL connector file must be present.

2. After that, open the 'Data Explorer' in Eclipse by clicking on the ' window ' menu, then choose ' perspective ' option.

3. then press 'right-click' on ' database connection ' and select new to create a new connection.

4. then in "New Connection" profile, click on 'MySQL' type and click next.

5. Enter the name of your connection, host address,port no, username and password.

6. then click on test connection to check the database integrity.

7. Once the connection successful, then click on 'Finish' to create the connection . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best in Class and Ease Of Use From the RDBMS Family"

5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

MySql is providing a database storage solution where we can store our personal, business, Analytics related data in a structured way. And later on, once we are required we can get it via SQL script, These are the basics, what actually MySQL provides is industry-level security, consistency in Database, and providing zero data loss solution for the business. Mainly MySQL is known for its Transactional Database and very hot favorite in the Banking sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

There is nothing to dislike About MySQL since its providing Database services, its family of RDBMS (Relational Database management system), And this is how we expect it to run. But if we see at the technical level, then there are multiple Technical lags that other DBMS are providing in the market, like Logical replication is the most missing feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

MySQL is ACID compliant Database service, doing this it's making sure our data will be no loss and it provides high security to be hacked by hackers, Since it's coming from the RDBMS family it works on a very known language called SQL, and using this we can store and retrieve data seamlessly. since it's coming as community and enterprise version, we can take license as we required, Mostly MySQL use by the community version and its community is too big since its very pioneer system which is providing the database solution.

"Powerful Compact Database"

5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

I had known MySQL database since 1998 before Oracle acquired the company, and it was a little fun database. From an Oracle database expert, this database was small but powerful to work; I liked the way so simple you were able to install and run on Windows or Linux. The other thing was MySQL was on each hosting server. I think MySQL was such a fantastic database that I made a development tool for this database called DreamCoder for MySQL.

Over the years, MySQL included more and more enterprise features, and this database is now a serious competitor for the big databases brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

MySQL database never fails me; this is excellent if you understand what kind of projects are better. I think MySQL Database is fit for small and medium web projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL and PHP frameworks goes together flawlessly"

5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL is an open-source software and it is free to use. It has quite a number of community support for the database and resources can be found very easily. PHP developers like us don't need to specially get a license for the development work that we are doing. There are tons of MySQL connectors that are available for popular frameworks like CakePHP.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

MySQL does not support JSON data types. Postgres on the other hand allows me to store the JSON data in JSON blobs. If the data is formatted in JSON Format doing my data transformation, SQL query is impossible without using an ETL tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL is the solution for web data applications"

5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

The plasticity of MySQL is very extensive in several aspects. Because we have many different kinds of data and our program requires agile data processing, with MySQL we were able to prepare to optimize the process for your company and, of course, customize it to maximize the benefits for your organization. The convenience of incorporating several programming languages. We will use several different programming languages to carry out our work, so we had to choose a database that can support most of these languages. MySQL is coupled with most of the programming languages implemented by our company and greatly supports the combination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

With the skill set we have, we felt we lacked assistance to help manage information more easily in MySQL. The tools currently provided are good, however, very poor in certain features and skills that require a certain specialty or complication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

MySQL versions 5.1.x are currently being used throughout the institution. MySQL holds all of the company's information from every source of information. We base our experience on the regular use of MySQL, and it is very suitable for storing and managing data from the Internet and web services. We require a great deal of information processing from the web and mobile services. MySQL provides the necessary complement to meet the requests and needs of our organization.
