What do you like best about MySQL?

Finally, it is quick and easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

When executing huge databases, it is sluggish. It can also be difficult to use for those who have never done so before. Finally, there is the workbench user interface, which is not interactive and hence requires some tweaks to increase its speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazingly simpler DB !"
What do you like best about MySQL?

The best of MySQL I like is that it has the best user interface amongst all. Lot of filters and queries can be used with the existing databases and it also allows to import tables from other third party apps or browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

MySQL is not compatible with android version . One cannot use any database software with Android OS. At times, it asks for public server IP address, when it should ask for a private one. If the users access the public server unknowingly, then there's a chance of losing all the data in those databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The scalability and feathers MY sql provide in web development projects."
What do you like best about MySQL?

It based out of traditional database where we use my sql for performing CRUD ( create,read,update,delete) and managing the data for a web application or many more purposes.it follows the relationship between the tables in side a data base we can fetch easyly using the indexing features.many web applications uses my sql as there backend part for managing the user data because it provides user authentication and validation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

It is good for small startup or websites where the traffic is low. When it comes to managing learge amount of data or for data analysis purposes we can't use my sql there because it doesn't support features like partitioning.so we can't use my sql in e-commerce based projects where the traffic is high.
