We performed a comparison between MariaDB and SQLite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."The speed and functionality are the most valuable features."
"I am editing."
"Installation is straightforward."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"One of the great features of MariaDB is its scalability. It's easy to handle even with large databases."
"What I like best about MariaDB is that it is open-source and reliable."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"I haven't encountered any problems in my use cases. So, it has been a stable product for me."
"I use Flutter Technology with the JSF plugin."
"Sometimes, you want data to persist within the app even when there's no internet connectivity. To avoid showing blank screens, we can use SQLite to store data locally and then sync it with the cloud database when connectivity is restored."
"The product is lightweight and highly scalable."
"The stability could always continue to be improved upon."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"It doesn't have the same level of maturity metrics as Postgres."
"The license should be cheaper and closer to that offered by MySQL, Oracle and other products."
"MariaDB could improve by adding support for non-relational structures and new data types."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"I would like to see more compatibility going forward. This would help if there is a need to change databases."
"It would be helpful if I could specify multiple drives for the database storage."
"I primarily use SQLite for small-scale applications due to its limitations in storing large amounts of data. For larger-scale projects, I typically opt for MySQL or other alternatives. Storing a large number of dates in SQLite can significantly impact its performance."
"There are some difficulties on the server side. When syncing data with databases like SQL Server or Oracle, SQLite requires a kind of double effort."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
"The performance could be better."
