Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

It is used as a database for the website and application development in our organization. It is used by the technical department in our office. MySQL is a relational database management system which we can use in phpMyadmin and use to save data and work with data while developing a web application or websites.
  • It is really powerful in terms of speed, indexing, and data storing and fetching.
  • It is completely free so anyone can start using it if you are developing websites or applications.
  • Memory issues. If we have to fetch data from millions of rows, it lacks in speed and memory.
  • One needs to learn the SQL language to work with it.
  • Every developer needs a database management system for their website or application to save data of visitor, users or any type of data. Oracle provided that system for free to use it. In my early days of development, I started using it up through now.
  • It really impacted my work as well as the business of our organization, as it is easy to use and we had it set up in no time and developed many websites using it.
I have used Google BigQuery and it is very difficult to start with it. Although it is very fast and the speed performance is much better with BigQuery but it costs and is very difficult to start with. There's also no proper documentation on it, so MySQL wins in terms of usability and ease of use.
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.
