"MySQL is the best tool for any kind of database"
What do you like best about MySQL?

It is easy to run a script into MySQL. I like the programming language of MySQL because the queries are easy to learn and easy to implement for your database.

I like the functions of MySQL for example: exporting your database schema, exporting your tables in different formats. There is a wizard function with this the records can be added very easy into websites with just one click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

Sometimes I have to wait some time when I want to import the content into a database. I am using different sql tools and each SQL tool has a different query language and not all queries from Oracle or plSQL are compatible with MySQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has not added many features or improved in any noticeable way since we started using it. With the increasing popularity of other database structures, we are looking into the benefits of switching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great database for web applications"
What do you like best about MySQL?

It is open source and I can use it to represent mostly any business relations as required. It is available in multiple platforms and provides multiple storage and indexing features. In spite of being a structured database, it also has option to store and perform CRUD operations on JSON data. This not only makes it good for structured data, but also makes it usable for application that requires combination of structured and non-structured data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

At times, I've had difficulty maintaining up-time of server where there were relatively large queries sent to mysql. There is a big room to improve its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
