What is MySQL?

MySQL is a widely used, open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that utilizes Structured Query Language (SQL) to manage and access data.

It is a popular choice for various applications due to its reliability, performance, and ease of use. As such, is it used by some of the world's biggest companies including Amazon, Twitter, Netflix and Uber.

Following the acquisition of MySQL by Oracle in 2010, its original founders began work on a fork of the project and named it MariaDB. The two systems share common ancestry and can be used as like for like replacements.

Designing for
databases

At Bluelinemedia, we've been working with relational databases and MySQL for over 20 years.  We know how to structure a database schema to best reflect the data you need to hold in a way that minimises repetition and maintains high levels of performance.

We also understand that the details of database design aren't particularly interesting to you, so we won't bang on about it! You can just relax in the knowledge that we've got you covered.

Struggling with slow
database issues?

We've inherited all kinds of databases before - from flat CSV file based systems, to more modern XML, from SQL Server to "systems" that don't even have a name. We've even worked with data from a 1970s file based database that only 1 other company in the world still used. Don't worry - we can cope!

We can help you migrate your database, upgrading you to a faster, more efficient mechanism either in one giant leap or step by step. We understand that your data is your business and migrating to a different environment is scary. 

The benefits of migration can be significant including,

  • Faster, more efficient day-to-day operations as the streamlined database design permits much quicker loading and editing
  • Customisable, bespoke reporting - you can even write your own reports if that is what you like to do!
  • Greater piece of mind in knowing that your system is now more robust, backed up and future-proof
