We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."We use MySQL for enterprise data storage as well as part of the back-end of websites and web applications."
"It was easy to install."
"The initial setup was easy. I work in an agile way, which means coding and deploying quickly."
"MySQL gives us a very user-friendly workspace in which to query the database."
"What I really like about MySQL is the opportunity to search for information and organize it any way I like."
"Compared to other databases, MySQL is cheaper and we were using the community edition which was free of cost. ML is fully integrated with the database in HeatWave. It has also many other features. MySQL is a far better solution in terms of pricing."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is auto-scaling."
"This product is a good teaching tool for students who want to learn about networked databases."
"The solution is stable."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"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."
"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's very clever."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"I would like to see more integrations of the solution with other platforms and improve the support on different data types."
"MySQL's performance needs to be improved for enterprise-level applications compared to Oracle and Postgres."
"Rather than going in-depth about the technical features, which a technical person can directly tell, I would say that MySQL should be able to adapt to the next framework. The 5G framework means an unstructured framework. So if MySQL becomes smoother and more adaptable, it'll be easier."
"The licensing of the solution is on the expensive side."
"In the next release, I would like to see the scalability features improved to allow you to configure it and reduce the complexity with the configuration, making it easier for the end-user to scale. Make it as simple as it can be."
"MySQL tutorials and guides could be improved. Often they are too complex for someone with no database experience to understand."
"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."
"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 solution could be more user-friendly."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
