MySQL: A Popular RDBMS for Teaching Database Concepts
Reviewed on 02/08/2023
Great experience using MySQL for teaching database concepts for undergraduate and graduate students.
Great experience using MySQL for teaching database concepts for undergraduate and graduate students.
Pros
The main feature that I cherish in MySQL is the ability of my students to deploy it locally without the complexities of intricate configurations and deployment mechanisms. I used MySQL as part of the Bitnami WAMP stack (MariaDB is now packaged in Bitnami) to get a complete server bundle that is easy for students to deploy and configure. Before I relied in my teaching on a networked Oracle installation that was not that performance efficient and didn't give students the chance to configure the server environment. Moreover, with a networked configuration testing various SQL concepts would be a bit complex compared to having a local database installation.
Cons
Changing the open-source license by Oracle was a bit disappointing. MariaDB is a kind of open-source alternative to MySQL with very similar features and architecture.

I've used MySQL for a few years, and I'd heartily recommend it. It is a very capable and flexible solution for managing your server-based data.
Pros
Despite being available for free, MySQL has numerous functionalities that are also present in commercial products like SQL Server.
Cons
The majority of other databases, save for MySQL, offer data transfer between DB and distributed file systems like AWS S3.

SQL Review
Reviewed on 19/12/2023
Pros
SQL is one of the best programs that deal with relational databases, that is, those that are based on relationships between tables. It also provides many advantages for data, including high protection, privacy, and integrity.
Cons
One of its disadvantages is that it is difficult for beginners to deal with, due to the large number of tools and commands in it

Strong RDBMS, extremely high performance for the right use case: myiasm.

If your usecase favours ACID compliance, Innodb still has the same performance quirks it always has. There are alternative solutions for ACID compliant workloads with easier licenses.

I like the UI and its easy to use we can store huge data in forms of rows and columns also we can create multiple databases.

You should be knowing the SQL language as every operation needs a query to run and one mistake can cause error in whole table.
