"Use when data is simplified"
What do you like best about MySQL?

I loved the consistency it offers. The easy syntax to connect to the remote servers and operate on them with the same ease as if I am working on my machine. Its integration with the Django applications is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

We have to do a lot of processing ourselves to store the key-value pairs or data that we receive from some service or API. It is slower at times in comparison to the non-relational databases. Had it had some more aggregation functions, our tasks could have been easier. I might not know about the method to connect to the DB server using some key file, but it will be awesome to have one.

"MySQL Review"
What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL workbench has a straightforward UI with access to good tools such as schemas navigator and SQL documentation. It is a very affordable tool for large data dumps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

The UI feels a little bit outdated and can be a little overwhelming at first. The documentation can be a bit convoluted at times. This is mitigated by good StackOverflow forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
