MySQL Workbench vs. Oracle Autonomous Database

It is good software when we have to connect the database of the remote server but it is not as good as phpMyAdmin. When local server is concerned, phpMyAdmin is way better because it has more cleaner UI than Workbench. Workbench is preferred only because phpMyAdmin does not support the connection of remote servers.

Pro - Stability. Does everything anyone could need. If it's not there it will be on the next update. There is plenty of support for it. It's been around for a long time and it's reliable. The support is well documented and has a great reputation. Cons - Errors have been found in the documentation provided by Oracle with guidelines, etc. Oracles salespeople have a reputation of being obnoxious and condescending.

• Readily available too for quick and easy SQL queries
• Maintains upgrades
• Works across multiple OS platforms

• Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with.
• Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database.

• There are a lot of menus, some of them aren't needed or users who only need to send queries. I had to watch a videos on youtube to learn how to use workbench. It would be great to have some videos inside software (or links to videos on youtube)

• There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
• Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
• Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

Because it does exactly what we need: it enables us to manage our development and testing database environments in a quick and simple way without requiring support from a database administrators team.

MySQL Workbench is useful for specifically remote databases. Remote databases generally does not have any UI and we have to connect the server via SSH and on CLI, we write the queries and it shows the data, which is quite tiering and more prone to make mistakes whereas MySQL Workbench provides cleaner way to connect and provides lot of tools, so that we do not have to write queries all the time.

The product is continuously evolving and new features are added frequently. Management options through the OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) console and through the command line and API are being enhanced frequently.

It's like comparing a VW to an performance car like a Ferrari. If you need the performance, bells and whistles you'll want PhpStorm. If you just need to get from one place to another, MySQL Workbench will do just fine.

I found Oracle Autonomous Database very secure to store data and private information.I always feel secure with Oracle Autonomous Databases disaster recovery features.It is very effective to build applications for mobile and desktop devices lesser code using a low code development framework namely Oracle Application Express (ApEx).

• It provides good features and saves the time.
• When we use remote server, we can connect without using ssh etc. so saves the time and easy to understand.
• Do not have to write the queries to check the schema, so saves the time.

Incentivized

• Oracle Autonomous Database has a wide range of warehouses, which is competent and of high performance.
• The transactional processing power that Oracle Autonomous Database outlines are completely important and digital.
• The efficiency of Oracle Autonomous Database data encryption fosters security measures, a form that demands more threat detectors.
