What is MySQL?
MySQL is one of the most popular database software options for businesses of all sizes. The software is open source, and highly customizable, so users can set up an instance that meets their needs.
While MySQL is a specific product, NoSQL is a type of database that includes a number of available products. Whether a NoSQL (nonrelational database) product or using MySQL (relational database) is right for you greatly depends on the data you are storing, queries, and flexibility.

- Oracle
Oracle is very mature and best in its class. However the cost is much higher. MySQL is a good alternative option.

Humble opinion of MySQL
September 30, 2016
Best lightweight database without complicated adminisration tasks
I am very comfortable in using both Oracle (our enterprise level) database and MySQL for my personal use. I can easily switch between these two databases. In many cases, MySQL is my test and development environment. I am not able switch between Oracle and SQL Server as the language and data types are sometimes incompatible.

MySQL leverages application architecture and works well.
I've used both Oracle and MySQL. I like both database technologies. Both of them provide great solutions. Each one has their own benefits based on the requirement and right environment. The point is to find the right environment to use and compare price/performance/scalability.
- MySQL is relatively light-weight, can be extremely fast when using applications architecture. They have lots of features such as clustering, replication and partitioning.
- Oracle offers lots of features/functionality for solving complex problems. Supports large OLTP environments as well as VLDBs in terabyte or even petabyte scale.

MYSQL Forever!
Easy to use for non relational schema and JSON format storage gives it an edge sometimes.

MySQL is great, but you need the right professionals to do it right
MySQL is lightweight. It is meant to be used properly with proper architecture. Minimizing the information saved into MySQL is the key. Find the right person to turn MySQL, and deploy the MySQL properly.

MySQL is tried and true
I have used more than 10 different SQL databases over the course of my career. Of those, the three I find myself using over and over include MySQL, Oracle and SQL Server. I have actually replaced smaller deployments of Oracle and SQL Server with MySQL as a way to reduce licensing costs, administration overhead, and operation complexity for several customers. In the right solution space, there is nothing better than MySQL.

MySQL, Consider it Seriously
I've used Oracle. MySQL is not a fully featured but it's like its little brother. For an open source product, it's a serious database. It's evolved over the years and continues to improve.

MySQL really needs to be the database you use
Compared to Oracle MySQL is lacking some of the advanced features Oracle provides but through a detailed business and technical requirements capture process it became clear we would not need these very advanced features. Oracle is stronger on the backup and restore side of things and here I mean it does seem quicker using Oracle to import/export very large databases/indexes and partitions however we decide to live with the difference. All in all set up and ongoing costs was a significant factor in our decision to use MySQL.
Our business doesn't have significant SQL Server expertise and with the costs and limited choice of OS involved of using SQLServer we eliminated it at a very early stage.

MySQL: A class of its own
- Percona
Percona optimizes MySQL that comes from Oracle. They also provide tools for backup and monitoring. They have an open source version, but customers can also use their support. The positives are in the optimization, but that means once Oracle releases MySQL, one needs to wait until Percona is ready for their release.

MySQL
If you are looking for a relational database (depending on your app), MySQL is a good place to start. MongoDB and Cassandra are NoSQL options (very powerful). I am more inclined towards PostgreSQL as it's more scalable over time. MySQL was bought by Oracle and the community support has been decreasing after that.

Mysql is still the king of the Hill !
Cost: StartUp companies don't have the money to invest large amount of money in pricey databases. By using Mysql, the saving is huge.

My database - MySQL!
- Oracle
Oracle and MySQL serve similar functions. Oracle in fact owns MySQL. We chose MySQL because we acquired a company that used MySQL. It can be time consuming and expensive to convert an application to use a different platform. Of course there is the "If it's not broken, don't fix it" principle as well. Money spent on adding features is far better than money spent migrating to a new database.

MySQL Healthcare Review
MySQL is much more in depth. Microsoft is more for intermediate users while MySQL has a larger of amount of activities one can do.

MySQL is a great and most inexpensive database but it lacks a bit when you need extra corporate functionalities
MySQL stands in better place when it comes to cost. It is also an inexpensive database. We selected this database due to the cost as first reason. Secondly we do not have complex database manipulation requirements separately. Occasionally we need to generate reports which we do manually by executing a query. It works best with Java as service and MySQL as a back-end.

An era of MYSQL !!!
MySQL offers remarkable brisk begin ability with the normal time from programming download to establishment finish being under fifteen minutes.
Once introduced, self-administration highlights like programmed space development, auto-restart, and dynamic design changes take a great part of the weight off as of now exhausted database chairmen.
MySQL is about adaptability and decision. Clients can run MySQL on every single significant stage, and to compose applications in all well known dialect
MySQL is a demonstrated database decision for SaaS (Software as a Service), with organizations including RightNow, SugarCRM, Omniture, Supply Dynamics, Workday and Zimbra depending on the world's most prevalent database to control their applications.
Utilizing MySQL replication, associations can cost-successfully convey a high accessibility arrangement. Expert/slave replication empowers operations to physically come up short over to another server in case of an equipment or programming issue.

Reliable and cost effective
Another option instead of using MySQL would be to use Oracle. However, Oracle can be a pain to administrate, while MySQL is very easy to administrate. There are some functions that Oracle may do better in certain cases, but I would choose MySQL over Oracle 9/10 times due to the administrative hassle of Oracle.

MySQL REview
There are so many SQL solutions, it's difficult to compare them all. MySQL has a huge community and suite of tools to help it. However, it doesn't have quite the upside as the paid solutions. It's comparable to something like Postgres and all depends on the tools and support you need with it. MySQL is the best free solution.

MYSQL : Awesome and easy to use RDBMS
- postgre and Azure SQL Database
MySQL stands up and above the list of different softwares available online. I find it to be easy to use, scalable, and has good performance as compared to other softwares.

MySQL - great to hit the ground running
MySQL tends to be easier to administer and launch than these other varieties of SQL, not to mention it is open source and therefore free--which was a necessity for our startup budget. While Postgres is also free, it tends to be slightly harder to administer than MySQL and outside support for Postgres integration isn't currently as strong.

MySQL is Great
I have used MySQL more than PostgreSQL and thus find is easier to use, both are very powerful and are open source. I am using PostgreSQL in another application I am hosting and it also works flawlessly.
I did not consider Microsoft SQL for the instances where I use MySQL because the cost is far too high. I only use MSSQL where I cannot use MySQL for whatever reason.

MySQL for the common consultant
- Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Business Intelligence Manager and Couchbase Server
MySQL is open source, readily available, with no licencing issues. Adding a new web product to my existing setup is relatively straight forward. In order to set up a SQL Server site, significant IT and licencing costs are involved. We are implementing some SQL Server back ends for a couple projects simply because that is what IT supports and because we can use Power BI as part of our Office 365 package. I am more familiar with MySQL commands, sometimes SQL Server seems to obstruct my processes. Both SQL products can generate the 'do not understand' errors from malformed SQL queries. If I want to copy and paste SSMS seems to have a slight upper hand on ease of use. SQL Server has many features in the menus and under the hood, a dizzying array of choices and setup options and requirements. MySQL just works and gets out of the way.
