Overall Satisfaction with MySQL
MySQL proved to be an extremely useful tool for my company. We have a specific department where we use MySQL. Our company was looking for a good relational database management system that would meet the needs of the company and that's how MySQL helps us to maintain the 1500+ Store database handle in the SQL database. It should be low cost in the initial stage so not to incur so much cost compared to other solutions.
- MySQL software is Open Source.
- Low cost in requirements for the elaboration of databases, since due to its low consumption can be executed in a machine with scarce resources without any problem.
- Easily understood documentation and great for having everything arranged in one place.
- Lots of the UI is very basic and limited.
- It lacks some formats.
- It can be quite slow at times if it's processing large amounts of data.
- Simple operation. The SQL commands for MySQL tend to be simple and easy to complete.
- Easy to use for any developer, we use the main driver for our language of choice
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.
