"It's an excellent Relational Database Management System"
What do you like best about MySQL 5.6?

It is free and has InnoDB for foreign key constraints, triggers, custom functions, views, and many important things in the SQL world. It also has a large community, so you might find answers easier compared to Oracle and PostgreSQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL 5.6?

It does not have JSON data types, but it was included in version 5.7. I really dislike the fact that it does not have a real BOOLEAN data type, we need to use TINYINT and cast it in the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Generous goodbye to MySQL 5.6 [Deprecated Feb 2022]"
What do you like best about MySQL 5.6?

Of course, MySQL is the most popular RDBMS in fact, the first database of many. It's a great tool, and I admired the newly added features in the 5.0+ versions. My favorite was all of them the COMMIT and stored procedures that were added, it made the job so easy and productive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL 5.6?

Scalability was an issue and is still sort of an issue with MySQL but for what it is supposed to do, it is perfect in that. MySQL is not really for big/large databases anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL 5.6 has enhanced Performance Schema which is useful for our MySQL server monitoring executions"
What do you like best about MySQL 5.6?

MySQL 5.6 is excellent when it comes to delivering multithreaded database servers with dual license policies (GNU & Commercial licenses) for our production systems. It includes various security improvements for storing authentication passwords which can be created from its config editor utility. It also includes password expiration columns which are useful in preventing subsequent server connection requests once it is set as Y. No additional configuration is required once we connect our client software with pipe connections for granting access control privileges to our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL 5.6?

Previously we had issues with its audit log due to compatibility problems with our Oracle audit vault. The file format obtained from the audit log was recently updated which effectively solved our compatibility issues. Now we are able to filter our audit events through its built-in plugin for our multi-user accounts & reporting its event status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
