Overall Satisfaction with MySQL
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.
- Data Security, MySQL is globally renowned for being the most secure and reliable database management system used in popular web applications like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Facebook and Twitter. The data security and support for transactional processing that accompany the recent version of MySQL, can greatly benefit any business especially if it is an eCommerce business that involves frequent money transfers.
- High Performance, Whether it is an eCommerce website that receives a million queries every single day or a high-speed transactional processing system, MySQL is designed to meet even the most demanding applications while ensuring optimum speed, full-text indexes and unique memory caches for enhanced performance.
- Complete Workflow Control, With the average download and installation time being less than 30 minutes, MySQL means usability from day one.
- It’s Got A Few Stability Issues
- It Suffers From Relatively Poor Performance Scaling
- Its Functionality Tends To Be Heavily Dependant On Addons
- Positive: It's easy to configure so your development is efficient and fast.
- Negative: not the best for large amount of data
Of course compare to no SQL databases it's slower but there is a completely different use case for them... In my opinion it is better than PostgreSQL, it's easier to configure and has the same performance, or approximately the same. Of course Oracle Database is a way bigger choice, smarter faster etc...
