"MySQL: Open Source and high load database"
What do you like best about MySQL?

It has all the integrated features to design a relational database with Primary and Foreign Keys definitions and then define the indexes to optimize the database performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

Honestly, I can't find the main feature that I dislike about MySql. Probably there are some things that could be improved. For example, the IDE Client seems a little bit out of fashion, but it works great!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing and easy to use Database"
What do you like best about MySQL?

The best thing I like about it is that it is an open-source database which makes it popular and fast. It has outstanding support from the communities and the oracle itself. It provides support to multiple backend programming languages but I use it with python and node.js. Its UI is amazing and even beginners can learn it quickly. As this database is structured so we need to work with tables and provide a great visualization for those tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

I don't think there are many cons of this application as of now but I face some issues while performing big data queries. As if you are working with big data queries and you refresh the page then most of the time query gets a time-out error. That should be fixed and its response time should be better.
