We performed a comparison between LocalDB and MySQL 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 most valuable feature of LocalDBis the connection between the application and DB."
"The initial setup was simple."
"The solution is fast."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The guidelines are very easy to follow. Maintenance is very easy and requires very little manpower."
"The solution is very stable."
"It has a remote access feature to manage the database from a remote location. This enables in-work collaboration."
"We use the basic features of MySQL. The interface that allows us to see the parameters of the server is good."
"A lot of the software components have been trialed and tested for often more than 10 years."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"What I've been most pleased with is the cost point, performance, and ease of use."
"I would use MySQL for a medium project, with around 1,00,000 hundred thousand users, because of the indexing and stored procedures."
"I use MySQL for employee service in an OLTP database."
"The solution needs to create a management tool. Right now, the solution has tools for creating a local installation, but it's too simplistic. We need something that's a bit more complex so that we can extend the tools with our scripts."
"The ALM features can be improved, but the database by itself is reliable."
"The internal connection features of LocalDB could improve."
"The initial setup is complex and requires a skilled person."
"The solution could have better integration and security features."
"The GUI could improve in MySQL."
"MySQL lacks a feature akin to Oracle's Real Application Clusters, which ensures continuous database availability within the same data center or nearby data centers."
"MySQL could introduce more indexing strategies."
"MySQL's performance needs to be improved for enterprise-level applications compared to Oracle and Postgres."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"From a user perspective, the initial setup could be simplified a bit."
"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."
