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.

Cons

It is not optimized well to handle huge data sets. Complex join statements can eat up lot of memory that can slow the system.
