Oracle MySQL HeatWave Likes & Dislikes

Like

Integrating ER design with the DBMS; ease of use; open-source

Like

- Simple UIEnd user - Scalability

Like

Mysql's ability to replicate data and be accessible with minimal downtime is what I like most about it. By making use of data redundancy , failover replication and load balancing, our overall data infrastructural reliability and resilience is ensured.

Dislike

The fact that GROUP BY queries run even if you don't use a group by attribute

Dislike

- Lack of customization - Service Delivery

Dislike

Mysql lacks native support for CTEs ( common table expressions ) and this creates a lot of challenges , when working with tree-like data or hierarchical structured data.

    Mysql is a vital part of my job role, within my organization. While used mainly for storing structured data , it is also an important RDBMS ( relational database management system ) for integrating our database for ETL processes, data integration , for generating reports for business intelligence and for data warehousing.

    Scalable database option for data analysis.

    5.0
    Oct 5, 2023
    Mysql is a strong cornerstone for me as an analyst. I use it regularly as a database to store large datasets , as this makes it easier for me to query and organize my data efficiency. In similar contexts, Mysql is important for data cleaning / preparation purposes and I regularly use it as a centralized repository for consolidating and merging data from multiple sources. Using Mysql as a centralized repository ensures that I am always working with the most up-to-date data.
