Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

MySQL is mostly for vetting out developers to make sure they had enough knowledge to accomplish specific job duties. I created a bunch of tables and relationships, and populated a couple hundred rows of data across all of the tables. Then I gave developers a test asking them to send me back SQL scripts to perform various SQL, DDL, DML tasks and I would validate everything to make sure it worked as it ought to.
  • Easy to spin up a database instance.
  • Fast.
  • Not great for dealing with large amounts of data.
  • Limited capabilities for stored procedures.
  • It gets the job done, so it made our company some money for that project.
MySQL is not used very often for ML.
MySQL is good for simple databases for small projects.
