How do you generally rate MySQL free version in compare with other database systems?

Posted on by

And is it easy to sense ?
And finally, if we have been to make use of possibly MySQL or Ms Access in a margin of middle commercial operation database applications, that a single would we prefer, as well as why?
Thank you.

  1. MS access is typicaly a standalone system if yo are distributing data across multiple machines and you need it to work efficiantly than MySQL is better and cheaper than MS Access. whic acces is again more for a stand alon or even buisness of maybe 3-5 computers so massive moving and changing of a single access database can get messy.

    if you are concerned about learning sql the best way to do it is to get your hands dirty. so i reccomend you use VirtualBox a program by Java/Oracle that will alow you to mimic operating system on a single machine (the computer host should be deacent 2gbram/1.5-2ghz procesor speed) and install ubuntu linux server edition a free linux distro that has allot of free software for you to choose from and in particular im talking about LAMP (linux,apache,mysql,php) it is a server package with 3 softwares onfigured to integrate well with the other for maximum productivity. if your into the efficient and quick way than you can install phpmyadmin on the server. phpmyadmin is a webbased applicaion for easy editing for mysql databases. another way to learn it is to install WAMP (xamp) a program for windows configureds similar to LAMP except it has a nice gui with buttons for starting the server softwares and urning them off it also has phpmyadmin preconfigured so you can play with it to your hearts content.

    Mysql is free first of all so that will save ou alot of money and its also very powerful and well suported not to metion it is the most common database system out ther so if you get stck there are plenty of forums and gurus to consult. there are however other database systems like Oracle wich is what is called "enterprise standard" but it does not nearl have te fan base of mysql.

    i also prefer mysdql to any other because of its ability to expand well meaning if you wanted to expand you database systems than mysql makes it very easy to do so

    i hope i helped good luck and have a nice day/night
