Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"MySQL gives us all of the critical features that we need in a database, but without the costs."
"One of the most valuable features is MySQL's ability to run our email system. We use a system called Colab."
"It creates a unified view of the entire architecture and performance factor, helping to manage the network more easily."
"It's a good tool, a good database platform."
"MySQL is a popular database platform for businesses because it is extremely easy to use."
"What I've been most pleased with is the cost point, performance, and ease of use."
"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."
"It was easy to install."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"Clusters are hard to perform so we use no SQL alternates like MongoDB."
"It should have some code analytical functions. It can also have a monitoring tool."
"In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release, one thing that's always missing is dash boarding. There's no real BI tool for MySQL, like there is in Yellowfin and all the different tools that you get. They all have MySQL connectors, but there's no specific BI tool for MySQL. These open source projects have sprung up, but they're more general purpose."
"The licensing cost of the solution is expensive, which MySQL needs to consider improving."
"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."
"MySQL tutorials and guides could be improved. Often they are too complex for someone with no database experience to understand."
"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."
"Sometimes, I get lost in the toggles and buttons, and a better visual design would be nice. The layout is not user-friendly or efficient."
