(Original )Information
What do you like best about MySQL?

MySQL can be installed on multiple platforms with installaers and pakages to make installation very easy. It has nearly all of the features you'd expect of a SQL complaint database, with a few "platform specific" extras as well. I've been using mysql for more than 10 years in different scenarios, most of the time seamlessly integrating into the system I'm building. The community support is very good, and if you want it there's paid support too, tough I've never tried it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
