Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console

I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

High-speed data processing, seamless scalability, and excellent high availability making it an optimal choice for those prioritizing performance and efficiency in a database solution

There's a noteworthy consideration when it comes to collecting massive amounts of data. It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks. Attempting to use it for direct extraction, for instance, might lead to memory-related challenges. While MySQL version five might lack extensive SQL capabilities, SingleStore also has its constraints, requiring simpler SQL writing. This becomes evident when seeking advanced functionalities like window functions or JSON functions, where SingleStore doesn't offer an extensive toolkit, necessitating a more straightforward approach to SQL.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."

"It is an established open-source database with a vast array of resources available, ensuring you can learn everything needed."

"The solution's performance is good."

"It's easy to use."

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."

"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."

"It is very easy to start working with the product."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service pros

"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."

"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."

"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."

"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."

"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."

Cons

"The user interface is not simple."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."

"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."

"There could be improvements, particularly in Firebird, where the indexing is limited to just a single B-tree index, leading to poor performance for large-scale queries."

"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service should be easier to replicate and integrate into further solutions."

"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."

"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."

"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."

"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."

"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."

"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."

"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"It is an open-source product."

"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."

"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."

"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"The license is expensive."

"The product's licensing is not expensive. It is comparable."

"I would advise users to try the free 128GB version."

"Using it for analytical purposes can be cost-effective in the long run, especially in terms of infrastructure."

"They have two main options: cloud installation and bare-metal installation, each with different pricing models."

"SingleStore is a bit expensive."
