"Best in Class and Ease Of Use From the RDBMS Family"
What do you like best about MySQL?

MySql is providing a database storage solution where we can store our personal, business, Analytics related data in a structured way. And later on, once we are required we can get it via SQL script, These are the basics, what actually MySQL provides is industry-level security, consistency in Database, and providing zero data loss solution for the business. Mainly MySQL is known for its Transactional Database and very hot favorite in the Banking sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

There is nothing to dislike About MySQL since its providing Database services, its family of RDBMS (Relational Database management system), And this is how we expect it to run. But if we see at the technical level, then there are multiple Technical lags that other DBMS are providing in the market, like Logical replication is the most missing feature.

"Powerful Compact Database"
What do you like best about MySQL?

I had known MySQL database since 1998 before Oracle acquired the company, and it was a little fun database. From an Oracle database expert, this database was small but powerful to work; I liked the way so simple you were able to install and run on Windows or Linux. The other thing was MySQL was on each hosting server. I think MySQL was such a fantastic database that I made a development tool for this database called DreamCoder for MySQL.

Over the years, MySQL included more and more enterprise features, and this database is now a serious competitor for the big databases brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

MySQL database never fails me; this is excellent if you understand what kind of projects are better. I think MySQL Database is fit for small and medium web projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MySQL and PHP frameworks goes together flawlessly"
What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL is an open-source software and it is free to use. It has quite a number of community support for the database and resources can be found very easily. PHP developers like us don't need to specially get a license for the development work that we are doing. There are tons of MySQL connectors that are available for popular frameworks like CakePHP.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

MySQL does not support JSON data types. Postgres on the other hand allows me to store the JSON data in JSON blobs. If the data is formatted in JSON Format doing my data transformation, SQL query is impossible without using an ETL tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
