"The solution is easy to use."
"I would use MySQL for a medium project, with around 1,00,000 hundred thousand users, because of the indexing and stored procedures."
"It is pretty simple to use and I don't have anything really bad to say about it."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is its reliability and performance."
"One of the best features is this solution is easy to use."
"For sure, the solution is very stable."
"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."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"It is a very stable program."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The workbench could be improved. In particular, error messages can be improved, which are horrific and completely unhelpful. I'd like to see improved parsing of errors. When you write SQL and it crashes, it usually is something completely irrelevant and not helpful. I've started to use GPT 3.5 for finding out how to do things. I got to do something a bit different, and that I found to be very useful. If there was some way to tie it into one of the new AI tools, that would probably be a good idea."
"I feel that some tools which make it easier to create queries or make it easier for other functions would be really interesting to see."
"Integration is a key feature in need of improvement."
"MySQL is not easily scalable on cost effective consumer grade hardware."
"I find the Microsoft solution a bit better. But mostly in terms of the UI layout, I would say. I just find it a little bit more efficient."
"The auto-tuning and NDB cluster has some limitations regarding foreign keys."
"Improvements are required in character set support, scalability, and big data sets."
"The pricing must be improved."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
