"MySQL 5.7, a database management system that has not lost its validity."

4.5/5

What do you like best about MySQL 5.7?

MySQL 5.7 has proven to be a very stable operating system and has earned its place based on results. It has functionalities that help enormously to protect our information, such as the creation of a backup copy and restoration of the MySQL database with the help of mysqldump, we also have functionalities for the restoration of corrupt MyISAM tables, through the myisamchk instruction. In general, if we maintain the stable version and proper hardware resource allocation, we shouldn't have any issues with performance, which has gained popularity in the millions of installations that still exist with version 5.7.

What do you dislike about MySQL 5.7?

My SQL 5.7 has proven to be an excellent product, its simplicity in implementation and use make it a great candidate, however, despite how tedious it could be to implement an upgrade, some of us may be thinking of migrating to the new version, due to the opportunity to maintain support on the platform, in addition to obtaining some improvements in security, efficient access to data such as greater efficiency in InnoDB row operations, as well as the handling of new functions.

What problems is MySQL 5.7 solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to carry out implementations in a very short time, due to the simplicity of the deployments and the ability to integrate MySQL with our development framework. MySQL is very easy to configure and does not require extensive configuration to achieve excellent levels of performance. We've also been able to use other third-party tools that make MySQL even simpler to get started with the database, which is a great help for those who don't specialize in databases. Another enormous advantage is that we have been able to use it on multiple platforms, both Linux and Windows, and in general the hardware consumption is not very high.
