I use MySQL for employee service in an OLTP database.
MySQL is highly valued for its open-source nature, offering extensive community support, stability, and reliability. It provides strong performance and scalability suitable for various projects. Users appreciate its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. However, it faces challenges with scalability on consumer-grade hardware and has complex documentation. Performance issues with large datasets, integration, security features, and monitoring tools require improvement, along with enhancements in high availability and replication features.
