Overall Satisfaction with MySQL

MySQL is used as a backend database for multiple inhouse products . Its used to store data ranging from 5 G to 2TB in multiple environments such as DEV ,QA and staging . It can easily handle any amount of data and processes it very fast . We also use to test some security related items .

Pros

  • Ease of Setup
  • Minimal Administration
  • Query Execution is decent
  • Can handle large data sets

Cons

  • Concurrency Control
  • Parelle execution capabilities are limited
  • Using Community can be great , running into issues causes problems
  • Oracle provides its enterprise version which can avoid this
  • A great product when your datasets are smaller and less concurrent users
Understanding MySQL even if you are beginner its very easy, we can get up to speed easily . it also provide the MySQL workbench which is a GUI based administration tool and development tool. It can get better in terms of inbuilt auditing features . Though it provides multiple storage engine for various needs , it can be better if there is a single engine that can caters to all needs and improve the lock control on the db level
