MySQL: Proven Open-Source Database for Web and Enterprise Applications

MySQL is a popular open-source relational database system that serves as the core data layer for many web and enterprise applications. Known for its stability, speed, and compatibility, it is often deployed alongside technologies like PHP, Node.js, Python, or Java.

Key Features of MySQL

MySQL supports standard SQL and offers features such as transactional processing (ACID), including rollback, savepoints, and isolation control. It provides replication, partitioning, backups, stored procedures, triggers, user permissions, and encryption. Thanks to optimized storage engines (e.g., InnoDB, MyISAM), MySQL can be tailored to different performance and functionality requirements. It is cross-platform and scales well with larger data volumes.

Practical Benefits of MySQL

MySQL is easy to deploy, freely available, and backed by both community and commercial support. For developers, it offers tools like MySQL Workbench for visual database design and management, simple integration with various programming languages via connectors, and extensive documentation. For businesses, it brings a low entry barrier, stable operation, high availability options, and transitional compatibility with other databases.

Use Cases of MySQL

MySQL is widely used in CMS systems (e.g., WordPress, Joomla), e-shops, analytics tools, SaaS platforms, and internal business systems. It is suitable for web applications, REST APIs, mobile backends, and data warehouses in combination with BI tools.

MySQL is a reliable database engine that, thanks to its speed, simplicity, and open nature, ranks among the most widely used technologies for data management in the world of web development.

Software for Laboratory Measuring Device

Rotronic HygroLab users work in a web application environment, which can be also connected remotely via PC or tablet. Or they can connect a USB drive or external keyboard and mouse to the device for more convenient operation. The application allows to operate up to 4 measurings simultaneously, either in standard mode or using the faster AW Quick measurement. The progress of the measurement can then be monitored in a live graph and all measurement results are stored for later analysis as documents. These can be forwarded in PDF or CSV format by email, saved to a USB drive or directly to a PC when connected remotely to the application. An essential part of the application is the admin section with the settings of documents, the device itself and user rights. For fast work with documents, automatic naming of documents in the application as well as naming of files with documents is important. We are also working on new app features. For example, on a new login option using Active Directory. This will allow companies to use their own user accounts. There will be no need to create new user accounts in the application.

Tyre Searching

In the form of a web application, we have made a database of all vehicles produced and sold available to dealers so that they can search for all the tyre combinations suitable for a specific vehicle by VIN code. The database contains a lot of records, so it was necessary to optimize the speed so that users could get the data immediately and not have to wait.

Smart IoT Devices Development

We have developed smart devices (so-called loggers) that collect and send data from around the world via GSM. Thanks to solar panels, we have achieved exceptional durability and self-sufficiency, while low weight allows for mounting small animals. We also created a firmware that makes our devices work, and finally, we have developed a reliable application that allows scientists to collect and evaluate all the data they need for their work.
