"I used Faiss as a basic database."
"MySQL is a popular database platform for businesses because it is extremely easy to use."
"It is free, which is probably its most valuable feature. It is a pretty full-featured relational database. It really does everything we need it to do."
"MySQL is a light database. It's not very complex. It's easy to develop, easy to maintain, and easy to back up and restore."
"The main advantage is the very large user base. This enables users to fix about any issue by answering any question."
"Apart from the features that are in the enterprise part, we find the database to be valuable. The connectors and the backup features are valuable as well. We use the basic database. We don't really use the extra features. Our clients like the security features in the database."
"I like MySQL's feature that helps to automate things."
"It has a remote access feature to manage the database from a remote location. This enables in-work collaboration."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"It would be beneficial if I could set a parameter and see different query mechanisms being run."
"It could be more accessible for handling larger data sets."
"In an upcoming release, there should be something added similar to EPL. For example, when using the flow diagram, we can create a schema. We have two useful features to add or create the table, but there should be some UI features to allow us to drag and drop to create other schemas. This would be very helpful."
"It should have some code analytical functions. It can also have a monitoring tool."
"There are some issues with compatibility with Java environments that need to be improved. When Oracle bought this solution there were some driver changes that caused some issues with operations."
"Some problems with big table operations, and a struggle to keep the servers responding in peak situations."
"The performance, stability, and security are areas with shortcomings in MySQL, where improvements are required."
"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."
"Even for the best database, we always want the database to perform much better, so we wish MySQL would be much better, in terms of performance."
"The GUI could improve to make MySQL better."
