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 tool is open-source and there is no cost involved in its use."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is its reliability and performance."
"It is easy to use. It is simple to implement, which makes it suitable for our projects because we have deadlines. MySQL is also open-source, which is another plus point."
"Fully scalable and stable SQL-based RDBMS, with a straightforward and easy setup."
"The installation process for the most scalable solution is remarkably quick, taking only a short amount of time."
"SKIP LOCKED is a valuable feature."
"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."
"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's very clever."
"The solution is stable."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"There should be more tools to manage the on-premises version and more automation features."
"When I run into issues, I really have to research how to fix them."
"Scalability could be improved."
"The performance, stability, and security are areas with shortcomings in MySQL, where improvements are required."
"When working with a cluster wide, I have to use the MySQL cluster version."
"It can have better monitoring. In addition, the enterprise manager should be able to cater to more than one virtual machine. Currently, you need one license per server. It seems a bit too much to get one license for one enterprise manager. I hope the enterprise manager for MySQL can accommodate more virtual machines for MySQL."
"The GUI could improve to make MySQL better."
"The user interface could be more user friendly. Mainly because most of the times we see black and white digital lines. Something like Python."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"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."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
