We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has been very easy to scale so far."
"Compared to other databases, MySQL is cheaper and we were using the community edition which was free of cost. ML is fully integrated with the database in HeatWave. It has also many other features. MySQL is a far better solution in terms of pricing."
"MySQL is a scalable tool. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The one interesting thing about this product is that it is open source. It comes from an open source product. MySQL has been positioned as open source, but it also provides support."
"It's a mature solution that's been around for decades."
"The initial setup was easy. I work in an agile way, which means coding and deploying quickly."
"MySQL has cross-platform support for multiple operating systems. The backups on a Linux machine can be restored on a Windows machine, and vice versa."
"MySQL is open-source. There are a lot of open-source communities trying to come up with their own patches, and to come up with their own features, which help MySQL develop faster than traditional databases like Oracle, which is closed source."
"It's very clever."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The solution is stable."
"Integration is a key feature in need of improvement."
"On the database side, it should be really lightweight, and the data structure should be like MongoDB."
"The tool needs to improve table visualization."
"Some problems with big table operations, and a struggle to keep the servers responding in peak situations."
"At times, the autoscaling does not happen when there is a surge in load."
"MySQL could be improved by adding more automation."
"The availability of tools could be improved in the MySQL open-source platform. They can provide more analytical tools. I haven't had any particularly difficult issues to troubleshoot on MySQL, but in the past, on Microsoft SQL Server, I had to troubleshoot some difficult issues, and better tools were in place to see what was going on in real-time on the server. So, that's the bit that is lacking on the MySQL open-source platform."
"I would like to see the automatic backup feature in the solution as well. Data is very important and we need to preserve it in a safe place. It would be good if MySQL can back up the data automatically."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
