Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

I use MySQL for the database that handles surveys. It allows me to store all the data for survey results, over 300,000 records.
  • Connect to database(s)
  • Store data into those databases
  • Query data from different or multiple tables
  • Unions are often hard to do at beginner level
  • Joins are often hard to do for beginners
  • I'm honestly not sure what else can be improved
  • Improved load times
  • Allows to show data any format with PHP
  • Custom reporting

MySQL has been my go-to for making dynamic info using a database. Every site nowadays has data. It's very reliable and fast. I recently bought a book to learn more about optimization and recommend that to improve my skills.
