How was the initial setup?

What other advice do I have?
Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use for beginners, and users can write down the query themselves.
I suggest users use Oracle MySQL Cloud Service directly without integrating with anything else. Go directly, create a database and tables, then create two to three tables, and then join it, which will be super useful. It will be hard for you if you directly try to integrate and connect your database with your system.
But if you directly implement and try to practice, then it will be useful. Initially, you have to save your time and do more practice. Once you get expertise on that, then you can use it easily.
Overall, I rate Oracle MySQL Cloud Service ten out of ten.
