We performed a comparison between Oracle MySQL Cloud Service and PostgreSQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Open Source Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"It's easy to use."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service handles data easily."
"The solution's performance is good."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The performance is good."
"PostgreSQL makes it very adaptable to several descriptions of a record. Instead of having several tables or several relations for one entity, I can adapt this entity. It can be a multiform entity. For example, here in Mexico, a company and a person can be sold to us as a physical entity or a physical person."
"The community support and the open-source community for it are good."
"The database has excellent performance."
"The solution provides complete support in terms of the SQL dialect and behaves nicely when it comes to transactions."
"It is very useful for both structured and unstructured data. You can store unstructured and structured data in PostgreSQL. It is easy to use. You can easily manage things through PostgreSQL Admin. It is cost-effective. Its on-premise version is free. It is agnostic of on-premise or cloud. You can install it on the cloud or on-premises. It is available with all clouds, and you can also install it on desktop or Windows Servers."
"PostgreSQL is stable. It's available, stable, and reliable."
"It is a pretty comprehensive database system. Its performance is good, and it does what it is supposed to do. It also integrates very well."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
"PostgreSQL could improve by adding data warehousing tools."
"I'd like to see better memory management. I think that that's one of the few areas that Postgres does not handle as well as MySQL does or did."
"They need to improve the user experience of the management."
"PostgreSQL could improve by providing a geographical solution for tracking trucks and people in the field. They might already have features similar to this and I have not found them. I haven't done research about this topic."
"PostgreSQL is a stable system, but from a security point of view, it still needs improvement."
"If it was free to use, it would be the perfect solution."
"When you get a large number of records in a database and start doing various queries, it can adversely impact the performance of the live running systems. That's an area we continue to look at and mean to improve, but it is not only because of PostgreSQL. It is also because of the way the schemas are put together, and certain events are triggered. So, it is because of both parties."
"It could be improved by using parallelization. You want basically, distributed computing."
