MYSQL review
It was earlier difficult to manage a large amount of data on excel and it was time-consuming to maintain a spreadsheet. But with the use of SQL, all our job has become so easy and we are able to manage everything so easily. We just have to use some simple DML queries and we could easily fetch a good amount of data so easily.

MySQL: A tool to be used with any web application
It is being used by 90% of products that my organization has developed. All the products that are in the development phase or in production are using MySQL. The project that I'm working on is an IoT-based ERP system and we are using MySQL to store the machine data coming from the production site.
We are using MySQL in a few of our microservices application databases. We chose MySQL because its easy to use, has a lot of documentation both official and non official, has a large userbase, os easy to maintain and quick to install with fairly minimal configuration. The last bit is arguably most important for us since at the mooment, we need something that can be done quickly to make our application available to the user.

Best RDMS for small to meduim projects
We use MySQL Database multiple departments across the organization as an RDMS(relational database management system) for small-medium projects, easy to implement, cost-effective, easy to make changes, easy test, and supports millions of records. MySQL supports multiple database engines and we use mostly InnoDB to store the data, organize the data, and reporting purposes.

Most reliable database service manager
MySQL has helped me to excel in my field of
deploying cloud-native applications and provided me a smooth route to carry
on my everyday work. I did not face any difficulty getting started, and it
offers a customizable interface so that one cannot get stuck in the high burden of
the programs. This tool is providing me better data integrity along with better
customer service. It is helping me in my online business to a
great extent, as I never faced any difficulty in any transaction and it provides
a high-speed transactional processing system.

MySQL as a front-end developer
We use it from time-to-time, as the database solution for our smaller projects which requires a relational database. Usually used by the whole team, integrated into the production chain, and nearly everybody uses it for testing, smaller modifications in the data model, or when installing for a localized development environment.

My review of MySQL
Most of our internal applications use MySQL as their database. For example, our team owns a JVM tuning & testing platform will need to store each request coming to the platform and their status. We choose MySQL as our database.

Large cross-platform database for scalable applications
We use MySQL mainly as a database management system for small applications oriented to the management of resources of the different projects that store information related to the employees, either for the management of tasks or to allocate the hours that each employee registers in the project. We generally use it together with the PHP programming language and Apache Web Server using the LAMP distribution (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP).

MySQL--Best RDBMS
In my team, we are using MySQL as a relational database management system for internal software development projects. It helps us to store data in a well organized and systematic format, which, in return, results in better management, less utilization of resources, and time savings.

MySQL--Great RDBMS for non-huge DB needs
MySQL is serving more than one department in our organization. In the R&D department, it's being used as part of our software development. Other departments such as product, customer success, support, business development, and more are using it for managing the customers, for getting analytics, for creating reports and dashboards, and acting by this data.

MySQL is best database structure tool
MySQL is used by the whole company. This is a very useful structured database managing tool which helps us in our day-to-day data mining and creating excel with this huge data. The best part of it is if we accidentally make any wrong inputs while capturing any of the data details in our day-to-day activity it can be very easily fixed for a long list of sheets in a single go with a set of queries. MySQL provides the best way to interact with the SQL database. It offers the best available security toward SQL database and maintenance also it takes care of large databases to be optimised and responsive to every action.

The efficient way of choosing the right database.
MySQL engine is currently being used in some of the business unit systems in my current organization. This is being considered as the first option when creating new applications or systems if there are low-budget projects and if the application is web-based driven.

mysql review
As I know, we use it only in a department of our company. Most of the time we use this database as a development database. We store less complex data structures in it, small and few tables, as we know it's better to store small amount of data then other relation databases.

I like MySql
It was used across the whole organization internally. It was picked because of the easy integration, great support, and stability. For internal usage, they needed a cost-effective but trustworthy solution. Also from experience, the developers are familiar with MySql the most, they would able to use the juniors to work on the internal solutions first and learn the way.
