"A great choice for relational software projects"

Despite the fact that MySQL is free software, you may get better support by purchasing a commercial licence from Oracle. MySQL's Access Privilege System and User Account Management are very secure. Host-based verification is feasible. multi-version transaction support, unrestricted row-level locking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most relied DBMS"
What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL is one of the simplest DB to learn and set up. It is completely free to use. In the latest versions, they have included support for natural language searches and support for JSON data type, which is really cool! A relational database with such capabilities is a tough competition to NoSQL DBs, which is considered an alternative to relational DBs. It is also a highly scalable database. It can be monitored and regulated well for best performance. Security is also top-class, and it seamlessly works with multiple frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

The documentation is a little hard to follow for beginners. Also the UI of the workbench application is not so great. It a bit difficult to get a hang of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

I don't recognize MySQL as one of the best performance software, and Postgres is way more performative than MySQL. You cannot use a dark theme to query, and it is not simple to make multi-database queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL: The best database for almost any application!"
What do you like best about MySQL?

It has easy-to-understand syntax and has an extensive community base for any issues and questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Routine User of MySql"
What do you like best about MySQL?

I would like to say that MySql is one of the best database service providers which is open-source.

I have integrated MySql with PHP, C#, VB, and java as well.

Its operational ability of indexing and retrieving data is as good as MS SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

I prefer to use MySql with a small size application because as it can be difficult to handle a structured database with a big enterprise application.

MySQL doesn't have a good developing and debugging tool compared to other databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My sql - A Relational database"
What do you like best about MySQL?

The best part of MySQL is the ease of use and setup. It doesn't consume much space as compared to other databases like SQL server and being lightweight it is much easy to set up and connect your application with it. Yet it can handle pretty heavy transactions. Its one of the choice when comes to databases for a spring boot project. Moreover, it is available on both LINUX and WINDOWS platforms. It comes with its features which include access, authentication, backups, extended running support for languages like Perl, Tcl, Huskey. Its client i.e. Mysql Workbench is also lightweight and has a nice responsive UI with lots of operational features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

When it comes to data-intensive transactions and analytics it lags. For such operations, one has to move to mongo or SQL server-like databases. Another negative aspect is it blocks database operations while taking backups. In terms of data security and authentications, it lacks what other paid RDBMS offer. It also lacks debugging capabilities which now most of the paid databases come with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
