One of the easiest RDBMS to work with!!

by beerbrain , Mar 30 '03
Pros: Probably the fastest and definitely the easiest. Loads of online information available.
Cons: No stored procedures and triggers.
MySQL was the first database system that I worked with and despite it's shortcomings, I have to admit that it works like a charm. It's definitely one of the most prevalent RDBMS on the internet.

MySQL is available for most of the popular...

MySQL - This is not a mature or reliable RDBMS

by jordinfixes , Feb 22 '05
Pros: MySQL is free.
Cons: In this case, you get what you pay for.
I've been reading lot's about open source databases as of late. There's a reason for this and that is one of my client's moved from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to MySQl 4.1.7. Now let me be clear about the key issue here: my client didn't chose MySQL ...

I use it for everything

by coyoteoldone , Nov 24 '01
Pros: Fast, free, simple, powerful large support community
Cons: no subselects or rollbacks
I don't know what to say. I use MySQL wherever possible! It has proved consistently fast, efficient, and easy to use. There are program hooks/API's for PHP and pretty much everything else I use.

I have NEVER had any data loss or corruption,...

Who Needs Stored Procs Anyway?

by rhorvick , Aug 25 '00
Pros: free, reliable, robust, runs everywhere
Cons: missing stored procs, triggers, views and more
Or triggers ... or views ... or any of the other little extras that separate this DB from the big boys. However I still have a soft little place in my heart reserved for mySQL. For "simple" data storage it works excellent. It is quick, has a...

Fast and supported, but missing features

by clicq , Sep 16 '00
Pros: Fast, free, supported
Cons: Lack of features
MySQL, in case you don't already know, is a free database that is widely used, especially on linux.

Install
Using the RPMs, this is a very easy install. It does everything for you. Compiling from source is a little more difficult,...

Really Not for enterprise?

by Showme_ , Mar 11 '01
Pros: open-source, fast, stable, free, secure.
Cons: not rollback option, no stored procedures supported.
Well, I always had a feeling like loosing my faith, when I used something free to put it in the business arena. “I don’t pay for it, so forget the support” I told my self. “I have to do it all myself. That it.” Is really that way?

Easy as pie!

by morgansimp , Sep 05 '00
Pros: Fast, stable, and easy to use
Cons: Lacks some of the more complex capabilities of the larger commercial database servers.
I have only been working with relational databases for less one year. I started developing static web sites with html over two years ago. Last year I decided I wanted to learn how these big companies serve up dynamic content to their web sites.

MySQL 3.23: open source strikes again

by popy , Aug 15 '00
Pros: free, fast, compact, multiplatform, ODBC support
Cons: limited SQL
MySQL 3.23 is a very stable SQL server with very high performance.

The server is freely available for almost any Unix platform (Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, Irix, True64, etc.) and at very low price (about $170) for the WIN32 version.

Pros: Speed of Accessing

I've been looking for awhile now for the best solution to high demand cgi applications demanding information. I come from a Perl background and that's what I use primarily to control the mySQL DB.

It's Pros

Nothing better for a non-Enterprise website

by JGuynn , Oct 11 '00
Pros: lots of support, easy to learn and use, fast, free
Cons: does not have all of the features of an Enterprise class SQL server
I honestly believe that MySQL is the best solution for a non-Enterprise level website that needs access to a database to provide content. Add PHP to the mix and you have a fast, simple way to build an active website. I am using the PHP/MySQL...

MySQL is great, but...

by wajlee , Aug 11 '00
Pros: FAST, Free, It Works
Cons: No transactions or rollbacks
MySQL is great for many small database applications, but I would not use it for critical applications.

Three important functions missing from MySQL are subselects (can be worked around), transactions and rollbacks. However, these missing...

Techie but SOLID

by barnis , Aug 14 '00
Pros: speed, price (lack of), reliability
Cons: interface
MY SQL is definitively not for everyone but if you can get through the techie install and the often frustrating command line you will find a fast and dependeble relational database fro a variety of needs.

Now I have not used that many...
