We performed a comparison between MySQL and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."MySQL is a scalable tool. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Apart from the features that are in the enterprise part, we find the database to be valuable. The connectors and the backup features are valuable as well. We use the basic database. We don't really use the extra features. Our clients like the security features in the database."
"When comparing MySQL to other solutions it is easier to use and boots up faster. Additionally, when you want to query a lot of data, MySQL is better in performance."
"The deployment process is pretty fast."
"Support for enterprise-grade features like clustering, master-slave replication, even Sharding (to some extent) which is an advanced feature."
"What I really like about MySQL is the opportunity to search for information and organize it any way I like."
"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."
"MySQL is open-source. There are a lot of open-source communities trying to come up with their own patches, and to come up with their own features, which help MySQL develop faster than traditional databases like Oracle, which is closed source."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"It's very clever."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"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."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The solution is stable."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"It could be more secure."
"MySQL could be improved by adding more automation."
"MySQL needs improvements on its diagnostic features."
"They should come up with a better solution than the NDB cluster for better scaling. If they could come up with a better solution for write scaling, apart from the NDB cluster, which is supported by all open source communities, that would be great. Although the NDB cluster, I believe, is an open-source tool, it's not widely supported as a solution."
"Improvements are required in character set support, scalability, and big data sets."
"MySQL tutorials and guides could be improved. Often they are too complex for someone with no database experience to understand."
"MySQL is not easily scalable on cost effective consumer grade hardware."
"Security is a concern. MySQL could have better security features."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
