Google Cloud SQL vs. Oracle Autonomous Database

Does what it promises well, for instance, as a sidecar for the main enterprise data warehouse. However, I would not recommend using it as the main data warehouse, particularly due to the heavy business logic, as other dedicated tools are more suitable for ensuring scalable operations in terms of change management and multi-developer adjustments.

Scenarios where this is best suited are like where there are not large set of data which has to be analyzed and extracted.It helps in the efficiency of data .It is also well suited for medium size companies where you have to create a common data for everyone. As for large set of data, there can be network latency issues and thus there are some limitations of this software.

• Very easy to use and migrate existing database systems to Google Cloud SQL system
• Easy to query with real-time query assessment as well as processing metrics to help optimize the queries
• No need to learn any other querying language (like in Hadoop ecosystem), as SQL works pretty fine
• Easy-to-use GCP portal to type in queries and see the results on the screen (no need to go on command line )
• Easy to set up

• Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with.
• Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database.

• Increasing support for more database engines may enable a wider range of application needs to be met.
• Implementing and updating cutting-edge security features on a constant basis.
• Streamlining and enhancing the tools for transferring data to Google Cloud SQL from on-premises databases or other cloud providers.

• There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
• Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
• Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

Autonomous is the way of the future and this is one system which is crucial to any system and is also autonomous. It is self-tuning and self-maintaining which are major advantages.

As with other cloud tools, users must learn a new terminology to navigate the various tools and configurations, and understand Google Cloud's configuration structure to perform even the most basic operations. So the learning curve is quite steep, but after a few months, it gets easier to maintain.

The product is continuously evolving and new features are added frequently. Management options through the OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) console and through the command line and API are being enhanced frequently.

GCP support in general requires a support agreement. For small organizations like us, this is not affordable or reasonable. It would help if Google had a support mechanism for smaller organizations. It was a steep learning curve for us because this was our first entry into the cloud database world. Better documentation also would have helped.

Unlike other products, Google Cloud SQL has very flexible features that allow it to be selected for a free trial account so that the product can be analyzed and tested before purchasing it. Integration capabilities with most of the web services tools are easier regarding Google Cloud SQL with its nature and support.

Hands down it's the best. It's secure and extremely fast. It also doesn't need a lot of babysitting. It's running itself. It does its job as advertised. This is why I feel everyone should if they haven't already taken a hard look OAD. I feel it's the future of technology at its best. Everyone should be taking notice of how far technology has come and where it's going.

• The first one is it's performance is very good and it comes up with different solution.
• Security can be improved for external resources or the schemas which are selected in it.
• It can be more fragile so one can use it in the business purposes and this will make it a great product.

• Oracle Autonomous Database has a wide range of warehouses, which is competent and of high performance.
• The transactional processing power that Oracle Autonomous Database outlines are completely important and digital.
• The efficiency of Oracle Autonomous Database data encryption fosters security measures, a form that demands more threat detectors.
