Database Selection: The Reasons we picked MySQL
- Ease of Use - We wanted to create a system that people who were not familiar with computers would be able to use. MySQL adds a lot of features that make it easier to use.
Since it has a web front-end people are already familiar with their own web browsers. They will not have to add another icon on their desktop or learn another front-end program.
This will also require no installation of any other programs other than the ones already installed on their system. Since all consumer computers now-a-days come with web browsers already
there will be no question whether or not it can work on their computer.
- Open Source - MySQL is an open source application which means that it will constantly be getting updates that we can install and use on our system. This may
include such features as security updates and bug patches from previous versions. Not to mention, there will be a big group of open source developers to help us out if we have
any support questions.
- Cost (Free!) - As mentioned before this will not require any installation on the users computer. Also, though the backend will also be free, and the updates will be
free!
