"Best known tool to handle database"

4.5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

This is the best example used for database tools. It is an excellent tool for creating, deleting and manipulating data in a database. It is easy to use and very reliable in nature. It is an open source tool which makes it open to reach and develop new heights of development in the region. At the same time it is a bit expensive which makes it different from other devices and sets the best example for widespread use of devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

Mysql is an efficient and optimized tool to use, but again despite excellent support it offers some relatively scalability issues that make it relatively poor to use in an open manner. Development in the database is not community-driven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MySQL:

Wide usage and extensive functionality makes it a perfect and must tool to use for the developers. It is recommended to every kind of developer who deals with the databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

During my final evaluation I have to setup an entire website to show the authentication and functionality of my backend code. And I relied on database SQL to deal with data. But sometimes a tool was needed to fix some errors in the data that would help me manipulate the data in the database. At that time I used mysql and found that it was very easy and attractive to use the tool in an easy and effective way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not very easy to match with some of other frameworks. Massive amount data retrieval can be lag but does not happen often and hope the development team can try to improve this. May be some more documentation can be help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best database to use"

4.5/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL supports a detailed documentation that is the best and functions every part of it. This documentation will be updated from time to time. It also supports a wide range of operating systems to support execution and since it is an open source product, there is no license fee to use it in any way. It's queries are easy to write and understand and can be used efficiently at places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

It does not support any property of isolation and atomicity for queries. It is very expensive from the hardware side and uses too much RAM in backend runs. There it takes a lot of time when getting data with multiple sub-queries and even when we try to fetch a table with multiple rows of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MySQL:

This tool is itself has a brand in the market and is the first choice of every developer these days. This would be recommended for any type of data from small scale to extensively large scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I am a web developer and prefer django as a back-end Python based web framework, in which we always need some databases for protecting and storing our data, but with security we need a database that is easy to use and there is some systematic way to fetch data in an efficient manner. There I have to use mysql tool as a controller of my database built on sql server. This tool helps me easily view, update, delete data without interfering with the python backend code of the website.

"I think we all agree that MySQL is the most popular database in the world"

4/5

What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL is a simple database and it has been very popular over the years. I think its most important factor is the ease with which you can learn the syntax of your queries. Furthermore, I also like the fact that it has extensive documentation, which is constantly updated. In addition, they have an application called Workbench that offers a nice graphical interface and tools to do different tasks to the databases, such as import and export of data, performance reports, and tools to add, remove or remove tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

Sometimes migrating large databases from one server to another can usually be a cumbersome process, since the default server configurations do not support reading large amounts of data and do not have long runtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MySQL:

Of course I would recommend the use of MySQL for the development of any software. MySQL is the most popular database in the world, so it is constantly being updated and has very well-developed documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have worked with MySQL databases since the beginning of my career and its main advantage is that it is completely open source. Currently I use it in my organization to develop web applications with the Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

The amount of resources available online Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

It can be limiting with big data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MySQL:

Try it out, it's easy, and then decide for yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MySQL solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is great to use MySQL for creating structured dataware. I have personally used it to build datasets for storing users' profile data, their connections, and their notes.

The ease of specifying rules and building on tables is incredible. It can be used by beginners without issues due to the the great documentation available + tonnes of stack overflow Q&As. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
