MySQL

Pros

Easy to Impliment,its fast and Accurate,good connectivity with multiple platform,and works everywhere

Cons

Large data complexicity,sometimes gets intigration issues with third party applications

Pros

The MySQL interactive program makes it easy for anyone to create a simple database that connects with it. I have created many such databases over the years without problems. It usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Cons

If a MySQL database is hacked or there is a bug, it cannot be repaired or replaced in most cases without a backup. Backups must be done on a regular basis. There is usually a cost for back-ups.

Pros

ease of use, user friendly, good interface

Cons

not updated with latest requirements of my field

Pros

MySQL is an extremely sophisticated and adaptable open-source relational database management system. It is simple to set up and operate, and it is extremely flexible, allowing customers to personalize the system to their individual requirements. MySQL is an excellent solution for businesses of all sizes due to its extensive range of features and capabilities.

Cons

It can be troublesome to import big MySQL databases from one host to another. Remember that there may be website issues, process breakdowns during uploading or importing that require you to restart, or the import that does not fully transfer everything. I've figured out a way around this multiple times with only a massive dump. Other than that, it has gotten better with time, and as of the most recent version, I have to say that it is performing flawlessly.

Pros

Databases management in one place is what I like most about MySQL.

Cons

It was quite daunting to deploy MySQL, but we acquired third-party system integrators.

Pros

The SQL service of MySQL it's Great beside that was the first SQL management language that I learned at university.

Cons

Some university instructors didn't not want us to use it in our projects where telling us to use SQL Server.

Pros

Very user friendly and easy to learn and connect

Cons

Large datasets are not easily supported and may not be compatible

Pros

I like normalization on MySQL and also love query style.

Cons

I don't like slow. If I compare with MySQL and MongoDB, MongoDB is so fast.

Pros

Very simple to get started with and take advantage of a broad set of features. Low learning curve to master it. In depth documentation with a large community support. Plethora of robust tools to support it, like the MySQL Workbench.

Cons

There are some not so intuitive functionalities that you have to look up the documentation to understand and work around. One of them is killing a query in process. Also, the profiler tool is not as powerful as some of the competitor DBMS.

Pros

Coming from a country where life is at its hardest I have to spend less and get the most out of the little, MySQL has made this possible because it is free.
The other thing I love about MySQL is its simplicity, installing and setting it up is just so easy.

Cons

When large applications, backing up of all the data is necessary at all given time because there might be instances of data loss.

Pros

MySQL is very user friendly and the queries used are easy and well suited for beginner and small scale applications

Cons

I am not a fan of the UI of MySQL as it’s pretty basic

Pros

I have been using it for a year, and I like its compatibility with various applications and its secure, reliable software for storing requested information. The best part is that it is scalable to use in small personal projects and can be scaled up for use in large organizations.

Cons

What I liked the least is that it can get confusing in many tools and can be challenging for new users who start using this software; it can be complicated.

Pros

MySQL consistently delivers exceptional performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from small-scale projects to large enterprise systems. Its optimized query execution, indexing mechanisms, and caching strategies contribute to efficient data retrieval and manipulation.

Cons

Fine-tuning settings for optimal performance can require in-depth knowledge, and improper configurations may impact system stability.

Pros

MySQL open source software, easy to manage and query. In my experience, it's reliable and very efficient. It enables efficient database management. MySQL provides a very high level of security.

Cons

Mysql has its limits when it comes to very advanced functions, or when the load is high. The SQL-dependent system does not support certain languages.

Pros

MySQL is the most economical and accessible database management system. Furthermore, it is the most widespread DBMS. I need to use the host and port number to connect to the database, and I can instantly build simple queries for data retrieval and insertion. Also, because read queries appear to be written in ordinary English, they are considerably simpler to interpret.

Cons

My knowledge indicates that MySQL is not the best choice for handling complicated or large volumes of data. MySQL is not the best choice for applications that require to manage data in real-time.

Pros

Works ok and is simple to use. The most important is a low-cost SQL solution

Cons

Some commands are not equal to other SQL platforms.

Pros

It's a reliable database system that can scale well, both vertically and horizontally, allowing business to grow their application without major disruptions. Has a large and active user community where you can find a wealth of resources and third-party tools to help. The fact that is open-source is a big factor.

Cons

Complex configuration and lack of some advance features and functionality, especially in areas like analytics and reporting. Enterprise-level support can be costly.

Pros

Compared to its competitors on the market, its free versions, multi-platform support and a powerful engine make it one step ahead of many software. It is ideal for integrating with other software in a much wider framework and communicating with data much faster, especially outside of patterns. Although it has minimum resource consumption, it offers maximum performance. A limited number of rows can process data without locking and deliver results quickly. In the paid versions, you can make transactions at the corporate level or commercially.

Cons

You should plan your preferences and needs well. If you cannot communicate well the session software and database software you will use, this may cause you problems. You should read the release notes well and activate the latest software.

Pros

It is a good experience using MSQL. I like the website uploading, it amazes me when I upload a script on a website and the site starts working.

Cons

I do not understand some aspect of database security

Pros

- great security features plus many other wide compatibility- it has great community support

Cons

- certain functions are quite limited & complex- not highly cost effective

Pros

For starters, it's free, which is always nice, and it's also pretty straightforward to use. It's a nice conventional database."

Cons

I used it for database, and I used it with the NetSuite platform team in Oracle to work on my internship project.
But UI/UX of the platform could be improved and Some better UI for new customers without technical skills.

Pros

It's easy to work with MySQL when compared to SQL server.

Cons

Deploying takes some time for the first time users.

Pros

Been using it for years, it just keeps on working.

Cons

User management is a bit of a pain, I can't help thinking it should be easier

Pros

Strong RDBMS, extremely high performance for the right use case: myiasm.

Cons

If your usecase favours ACID compliance, Innodb still has the same performance quirks it always has. There are alternative solutions for ACID compliant workloads with easier licenses.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Very efficient yet cost effective solution for my database needs

Cons

I mean I am yet to meet a developer with negative reviews. MySQL is simply cool

Pros

1) Biggest benefit that I see with MySQL is it supports addition of columns to desired position (using BEFORE and AFTER keyword), this basic functionality is not provided with premier tools like Postgre SQL.
2) Almost all web hosting providers supports MySQL by default and it is undisputed choice for a lot of PHP based applications.
3) Community support is also widely available, because MySQL can be used at any machine, cloud, bare-metal, and etc.

Cons

There are no cons, it provides all the security features even at open-source level that are equivalent to enterprise level.

Pros

The thing which I liked most about MySQL is that MySQL databases are relational and the data is stored in different tables instead of storing all at one place. It is an open source software and fast, reliable, secure and easy to use. It can handle large database easily and the performance is great.

Cons

The cost and pricing plan to use MySQL is very high. It has 3 different plans starting from $2140 per year which I think is expensive.

Pros

Its open-source nature and extensive community support make it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. Features like replication and clustering enhance scalability and availability for enterprise applications.

Cons

Its default storage engine, InnoDB, may struggle with large-scale data analytics or high write-heavy workloads without careful optimization.

Pros

The management of data is easy, fast and smooth with MySQL, the permissions system is well secure, it's flexible and the search/filter feature really helps a lot.

Cons

Since it's considered like a light software, the management for big databases is really slow.

Pros

I found this program gives me the ability to incorporate a true relational database which is similar to Oracle.

Cons

It's not the actual Oracle product. I understand that when using it.

Pros

I like MySQL because it is open source , easy to use it can handle large amount of data it is secure and reliable.

Cons

Although it is a great rDBMS but it is not very very secure and also the scalability is not very good like it's competitors.

Cons

None of the business or technical processes were bad, but they were all present and used well

Pros

MySQL is valued for being open-source, easy to use, high-performing, scalable, and secure, with strong community support and compatibility across platforms.

Cons

One common criticism of MySQL is its handling of complex queries and lack of advanced features compared to other databases like PostgreSQL. Specifically, its historically weaker support for features like full ACID compliance, advanced indexing, and sophisticated query optimization can be limiting for complex applications.
