Perfect for Mac Users with a need for relational data management
MySQL is the classic open-source relational database. It’s free, widely used, well-documented, and runs great on Mac via Homebrew (or Docker if you want containerization). Super easy install, easy to get going with first dBs.
The documentation is (like most) too “techy” and not really that accessible to a user who knows they need SQL but needs a little help getting going. Sometimes the docs lack real-world follow-along examples of usage in action. Mac users are often left to wade through “Linux-y” tech talk when they don’t really want or need that.
Use Cases
We started using this tool to manage prompt iterations, measure prompt responses, and track prompt token costs. It works pretty well for that (of course we had to learn some query language and all that, but we’ve been able to make it work for what we wanted.
