MySQL

It is well suited for capturing, storing, and retrieving data. It is less appropriate for applications heavy on OLTP and OLAP transactions.

MySQL is really well suited to store and retrieve data. It would be great for any organization looking to manage business data. We use it daily for the operations of our business.

It is well-suited for prototyping applications and applications that are not Enterprise scale. Many big names such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Slackware Linux, and openSUSE, have all switched from MySQL to MariaDB. Hence, for solutions that have longevity concerns in regards to the technologies it is using, MySQL may not be the best option out there.

PHP with MySQL is absolutely perfect.

Anytime I start up a new project, whether personal or professional, I need to start with organizing my data. It’s always MySQL paired with an ORM. It is my go-to and will continue to be moving forward.

It is well suited for student projects for data management, and working on big data-related stuff, which is really difficult to handle without a database.

MySQL is well suited if you are working with user data. I used MySQL in many applications (i.e. on a VOIP backend side).

I would not recommend MySQL for financially intensive organizations or those which require a TON of logic to reside in the database. For this, I would recommend an Oracle 11g or above, simply for the ease of compiling procedures and readability of the code. But for simpler applications that are looking for cost-effective solutions to data-storage, MySQL is your obvious choice.

It is a well-suited solution for a web server and web hosting, in my opinion. Moreover, as it is easy to integrate it with web engines it is a good fit for websites that utilize registration feature and membership areas. MySQL has a robust support of command line commands execution and could be operated completely from the terminal.

1. Its implementation of an SQL database is very well suited for small to medium web pages. 2. The database is free and open source, with a commercial license available. 3. It must be easily manageable with a huge database.

By far, the most common reason to use MySQL (mine included, initially) is that you cannot have a LAMP stack without MySQL. Every shred of documentation (almost) on the web implements MySQL as apart of a LAMP stack, and I feel this is truly where MySQL shines. It's packaged, and it performs very similarly to other technologies, and as a result, creates a niche market for itself. Perhaps the future of MySQL will be something like a front-end to other DBs, or perhaps they will pivot from relational to something like document or object. Just a thought.

It is well suited for beginners if they are starting out in the development field and need a database system for their applications or websites. You can start installing it and work with phpMyadmin, but you must know the structured query language for using it.

It is not appropriate to use MySQL in those cases where you have robust applications that are used throughout the organization and that handle a very high volume of information. But if you have small web applications, few tables, and a low data volume, it will work perfectly. It is very fast.

This would be a great fit for startups since it is free to use and very easy to use. It changes the way you do business by allowing you to store the data online and letting you access it from anywhere. I have used the free version at a medium scaled company.

MySQL server varies from other database servers. Its architectural characteristics are very useful and have a wide range of purposes. MySQL is not perfect but it's close enough to work very well for current situation environment.

It is extremely well-suited for use cases across a broad range of applications such as e-commerce and business applications, and most small to larger organizations will find it well-suited for their data storage needs for a particular application. However, it is not designed for data warehousing and would not do well for analytics data for which a No-SQL option would serve better, and it is not ideal for geographical data management.

MySQL is well suited for small to small/medium companies. I really like how user-friendly everything is and how responsive customer service is when you have a question.

For what I usually need which is to quickly manipulate a database and then more than likely never touch it again, the free version is perfect. I have never used the enterprise version, so I can not speak to its functionality, but I work with other users that have used the paid version, and they tell me that they prefer it over others they have used.

MySQL is well suited to be a backend database to store data. Since MySQL has been around for many years, lots of people know how to set it up and use it, making it easy to get support or bring on new developers on a project using MySQL. Previously, I've seen MySQL being used as a queuing system, which was not really what it was designed for, and lead to stability issues when scaled up.

MySQL is basically a very well known, guaranteed relational database with minimum risk of adoption and use. Which means, for any general purpose MySQL database will fit in to some extent. Especially since it is free for use and doesn't come with burden of budgets. In our project the problem was extensibility to larger scaled genomics information, that may require big data management functions. MySQL is okay when it is small project, but as it grows, other products like MongoDB should be considered.

It's perfect for small to medium projects since it's a cheap solution (shared hosting) and works with a lot of tools like WordPress, Drupal, etc. On the other hand, bigger projects with a lot of content and users at the same time, which needs more performance and reliability, it could be very unstable. For that, there are better choices.

MySQL is great for Linux and windows projects when you need a really versatile database that has lots of users behind it and supporting it. MySQL is not great for Mac users, which can be a lot of App developers and graphic designers in the world. You can interface Mac's with the Linux web server pretty easily though, so its not the end of the world if you are a Mac developer.

MySQL is appropriate in infrastructures that do not require so many relational queries between its databases. It is oriented to the web environment, to the big data environment where the objective should be mainly the storage of information. On the other hand, in projects that are going to require continuous relational queries and that also require transitions of important information or data, MySQL will not provide the necessary response.

Smaller applications that need to be flexible and change quite often find it beneficial at our company. It is perfect for instances where you need to spin up a database quickly. It is less appropriate for very large high compute workloads. The database does not scale beyond 10TB in most cases.
