| MySQL Online Database |
Some of the worlds largest sites use MySQL as their Website Database......here are some of the reasons why.
Most business websites have dynamic content, either through a content management system or other on-site functionality, and require the use of a database to manage, handle and deliver data. MySQL is a proven and cost-effective database solution that not only reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), but offers superior performance, security and reliability. Price and cost reductionsReports have shown that MySQL decreases the overall cost of database software infrastructure by reducing database licensing pricing more than 90%, and reducing systems downtime by 60%. Concurrently, it has been shown to decreases hardware costs by 70% and lower support, engineering, and administration costs to up to 50%. Whilst it is debatable as to whether the Windows database alternative, MSSQL, runs as well as MySQL, this does not nearly offset the fact the Microsoft database is not free and the price of a server license is usually several hundred dollars. In addition, website hosting companies usually also charge an additional premium for MSSQL usage based on how big your MSSQL database is. performance and reliabilityThe MySQL database consistently scores among the top databases for performance, throughput and scalability; and that is against all databases, including high-end, costly, commercially available software such as the Oracle database. MySQL also has a well-earned and established reputation for reliability among its 5 million plus user community. So it's no surprise that MySQL is used for some of the most demanding, high volume, business-critical applications at companies like Associated Press, Cox Communications, Google, Lufthansa, MIT Lincoln Labs, NASA, Sabre Holdings, Yahoo and others. Market shareMySQL database has developed into the world's preferred choice for online and open source databases, owing to its efficient performance, proven reliability and proficiency. MySQL has about the same market share as Microsoft in the total global database market (which is around 20%), but as where Microsoft's share is both on and off line usage, MySQL is almost exclusively online, bringing its estimated online market share to around 30% plus. Most popular online databaseIt is the world's most popular open source database, with a 80% plus market share, and it is the chosen database for the new wave of applications developed on the LAMP model (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). As mentioned, a multitude of the world's current biggest and rapidly growing organizations including Zappos, Alcatel Lucent, Adobe, Youtube, Flickr and Facebook depend on MySQL to save them money and time powering their content rich Web sites, packaged software and business imperative systems. SummaryIn short, MySQL is fast, efficient, reliable, works better with Linux, and has no licensing or other fees.
