Hire Dedicated MySQL Specialists in India
Services > Hire Programmers On Contract Basis

Did you know that Yahoo uses MySQL to manage some of its database? This is indeed an endorsement that MySQL is a good choice to manage your database.

Even though MySQL is less full featured than its commercial competitors like Oracle and Teradata, it has all the features needed by the large majority of database developers. It is fast and very easy-to-use in all respects. Speed is MySQL’s prime plus point.

MySQL is developed, marketed, and supported by a Swedish company MySQL AB, which licenses it two ways:

• Open source software: MySQL is available via the General Public License (GPL) for free. It is for anyone who can meet the requirements of the GP; if you're using MySQL as a database on a Web site, you can use MySQL for free, even if Web site is a commercial one.
• Commercial license: MySQL is available with a commercial license for those who prefer it to the GPL. The fee is very reasonable. If a developer wants to use MySQL as part of a new software product and wants to sell the new product, rather than release it under the GPL, the developer needs to purchase a commercial license.

What are the advantages of MySQL?
MySQL is very popular with Web developers due to its good sql server database qualities; its speed and small size make it ideal for a Web site. Add to that the fact that it is free and you have the foundation of its popularity. Advantages OF MySQL include:

• It's fast. Speed was the main goal of the people who developed MySQL
• It's inexpensive. MySQL is free under the open source GPL license, and the fee for a commercial license is very reasonable.
• Easy to use. You can build and interact with a MySQL database by using a few simple statements in the SQL language, which is the standard language for communicating with RDBMSs.
• Runs on many operating systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OS, most varieties of UNIX (including Solaris, AIX, and DEC UNIX), FreeBSD, OS/2, Irix, and others.
• Technical support is widely available. A large online community of online users provides free support via mailing lists. MySQL developers also participate in the e-mail lists. You can also purchase technical support from MySQL AB for a very small fee.
• It's secure. MySQL's flexible authorization system allows some or all database privileges to specific users or groups of users. Passwords are encrypted.
• Supports large databases. 50 million rows or more! That’s the number MySQL can handle at any given time. The default file size limit for a table is 4GB, but you can increase this if your operating system can handle it to a theoretical limit of 8 million terabytes (TB).
• Customizable. The open source GPL license allows programmers to modify the MySQL software to fit their own specific environments.

What is the difference in costs when I hire a programmer from India as compared to the US?

We have a lot of positions/departments involved in the application development. You could work with a single programmer on all facets, including project design, choosing the right database, testing and fixes. One programmer in the US is currently paid about $80,000/year.

How will working with Stylus Inc be cheaper?
While it’s true that a talented programmer in the US will be in the range mentioned, the actual cost to company for every employee is substantially more. In addition to the salary, every company needs to make other statutory payments for each employee. In addition, for each role, there will be other infrastructure costs such as hardware, software, utility and space costs that get added as overheads.

Thus for a programmer who earns an annual salary of $80,000 the total cost to the company is in excess of $100,000.

In the case of our team, you will not require all services on a continuous basis. In a typical project, the analysis, architecture and design takes up approximately 15% of the time in terms of effort and costs approximately 20% of the total cost, project management takes up approximately 20% of effort and 28% of cost, and development and testing takes the remaining 65% effort and 52% of the cost.

On the whole, a 12 man month project that would take approximately a year for your programmer in the US (costing you about $100,000) can be completed in about 6 months by a team in India, and at an approximate total cost of $40,000.

At Stylus you can choose to hire a single MySQL programmer or hire a virtual team depending on your requirements. Contact Us to work out the specific details of this arrangement.
