"Easy to Use"
What do you like best about MySQL?

It is easy to setup in a Linux, Unix or Windows environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MySQL?

For large, heavy loaded databases, it is a major operations problem that changing the database structure is only possible when locking the complete tables. The database cannot be accessed during that operation so that this can only be done during low traffic times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
