Open Source Database With Excellent Security Features

The fact that its open source, free for both commercial use as well us developers to learn from is great! You can customize everything about it which makes things interesting since you arent just stuck with what they have done but give your input where needed too (as in all programming platforms!). And I think their documentation of tutorials & example codes available online would always come handy especially when one needs help getting started quickly!! Good place if anyone wants an easy…

Pros
  • The scalability and ability to store and query large amounts of data is outstanding
Cons
  • Not always easy to install, and some things do not work as well if you do not have admin access to a server

User friendly SQL like tool: MonetDB

The database is very easy to use, it has many options for data storage and can be used in different ways. Also there's an option of creating your own functions which makes this software unique compared with other similar products available. Some features are not as intuitive so some people may find them difficult but they're good at what they do - providing you have basic programming knowledge then everything should work out fine. I'm using MonetDb mainly because it allows me to store large…

  • Flexibility
  • Ease of usage

A great open source Database Software

I have been using it for quite some time now without any issue at all, from its ease of use to security features! It has everything you would require in an excellent database system that can support multiple workloads seamlessly. This product is just awesome with almost no downsides as well!! If there are then they must be very small which should hardly affect your daily workflow or performance issues faced by other products like MySQL etc., The best thing about this software compared ot…

A great open source RDB tool which works perfectly

It's easy to use, fast (I have not encountered any problems so far), it is well documented with plenty of tutorials online for beginners as me; I am using this database system in my master thesis about statistical analysis methods used by insurance companies - hence its importance! However there are some features that could be improved such us automatic backups or better documentation regarding how data can get corrupted/lost when doing an import from another DBMS into monedb like Oracle has…

Pros
  • The installation process was fairly straight forward &/or quick enough which helped greatly during our time crunch period here before dissertation defense submission date ; ) Also all basic functionality works fine without issues whatsoever including importing excel sheet files directly within their proper table structure while also allowing multiple user logins per account simultaneously via password protection scheme ! Excellent support team too : )
Cons
  • Nothing much honestly except maybe more detailed manuals would make life easier :)
