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.
