We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SKIP LOCKED is a valuable feature."
"MySQL is an open-source product and has good community support. If you encounter any problem, you can easily ask other members of the community to help. They help you a lot. On top of being free, MySQL is a cross-platform database, meaning it can work on both Windows and Linux. It is very good for us."
"MySQL gives us all of the critical features that we need in a database, but without the costs."
"Table partitioning is most valuable. It is easy to use."
"The way that MySQL has improved my organization is that it comes free and also works fine on the technical side."
"The solution is very simple. It's easy to use. That's the most important feature."
"We are completely comfortable with the database’s performance and it is a mature product. My organization was looking for an open-source database for our smaller customers like the community edition. For bigger customers, we can scale into commercial and supported editions."
"The one interesting thing about this product is that it is open source. It comes from an open source product. MySQL has been positioned as open source, but it also provides support."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"It's very clever."
"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."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution could improve by having better performance and security."
"The solution could have better integration and security features."
"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 backup methods need improvement."
"MySQL needs improvements on its diagnostic features."
"I would like to have the ability to cancel a query in SQL Developer."
"The licensing cost of the solution is expensive, which MySQL needs to consider improving."
"When it comes to supporting big data, there is space to improve upon the database engines that are supported by MySQL."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
