| Support | The DBLE documentation lists community support resources and says commercial support is available by contacting the maker. | MySQL Enterprise technical support provides 24x7 direct access to MySQL support engineers. |
| Transactions | DBLE supports distributed transactions with two-phase commit and offers normal and XA modes; XA depends on MySQL 5.7 XA transactions and backend availability and disk reliability. | MySQL is transaction-safe and ACID compliant with commit, rollback, crash recovery and row-level locking. |

In their own words
DBLE
DBLE is free, open-source middleware for scaling MySQL through sharding. It uses the MySQL protocol and can replace MySQL in many cases without application code changes. Teams can configure hash, modulo, time-based, range-based, or custom sharding, along with global and ER tables. DBLE lists query routing, connection pooling, load balancing, automatic failover, read/write separation, master-slave expansion, and ZooKeeper cluster deployment. SQL support includes SQL 92 and MySQL dialect features such as joins, unions, grouping, ordering, and distinct queries; some features remain on its roadmap. Query optimization addresses global-table joins, sharded tables, ER relations, and subqueries. Distributed transactions use two-phase commit in normal or XA modes, with XA depending on MySQL 5.7 XA transactions, backend availability, and disk reliability. Security controls include password encryption, IP allowlists, and SQL denylists. Explain plans, MySQL-compatible slow logs, and slow-query reports support operations. DBLE is self-hosted on Linux and GPL-2.0 licensed. The open-source plan costs nothing.
