Great Software for Starting MySQL Databases.

Reviewed 3 years ago

We use MySQL to mainly host our Minecraft server databases on our Linux systems. Customers have reported that they love the ease of use of this program.

Pros

MySQL for Centos runs great on our Linux operating systems. Never had a problem with the software crashing or damaging our infrastructure at all.

Cons

MySQL's daemon is not as robust as other products in the market. MySQL is also not compatible with many website UI's on the internet, a popular option is PHPMyAdmin but that interface is outdated.

My "Go To" Database System

Reviewed 3 years ago

I use MySQL for WordPress websites and custom web applications. I'm comfortable managing databases through the command-line interface, web user interfaces like phpMyAdmin, and desktop software like MySQL Workbench. They all have their place and make it easy to interact with the MySQL database.

Pros

I think what I like most about MySQL is that it is free to use. I use MySQL as the backend for client websites and other web apps I build. It comes standard on every web host I have ever used, so it's easy to get up and running with it.

Cons

I don't think I've ever encountered a problem I couldn't solve with MySQL. It just does its job. It pretty much runs in the background in any use case so as long as it is supporting whatever website or application that depends on it, I find it completely satisfactory. Its interpretation of the SQL language can differ slightly from commercial products like MS SQL - so when searching for solutions to problems online that can get in the way somewhat.
