"The most valuable feature of Firebird SQL is the creation of databases."
"Firebird SQL is an open-source solution."
"I find the ease of deployment to be the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"I like that we don't have to pay external fees to migrate this data. So, we are looking to relocate from Postgres or EDB."
"The product was easy to use."
"It helps us in detecting all kinds of problems in the code, such as bad quality, unclear code, or any violation in the code or best practices."
"We are happy with the event capabilities of Firebird SQL database. We can raise events from it and display them in our application."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The product is good for tuning."
"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."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"It is not easy to integrate the tool with Visual Studio."
"It would be nice to have a graphical user interface to handle the product."
"In the next release, it should support JSON, XML, and replication with third-party tools."
"Firebird SQL's performance has slowed since Firebird SQL 3 or 3.5 versions, where they developed over-the-wire encryption."
"The main feature I expect is to be able to work with different databases at the same time because that's a wishlist item for me."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable, because the scalability of the performance when using more than one process is not very good."
"Database sharing is a capability that Firebird SQL lacks."
"The solution could improve by providing partitioning and encryption. It is not at the higher level of database solution but it could be with some upgrades."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"The user interface is not simple."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"The product has many bugs."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"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."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."
