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."MariaDB is stable and the initial setup is straightforward."
"A valuable feature is that we can use it for quite a few things, all the things you'd expect from a server—along the lines of Linux's Lightweight Directory."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a cloud-based tool, so it is pretty fast."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"What I like best about MariaDB is that it is open-source and reliable."
"The solution's high availability is its most valuable aspect."
"I use Flutter Technology with the JSF plugin."
"The product is lightweight and highly scalable."
"I haven't encountered any problems in my use cases. So, it has been a stable product for me."
"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."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"The stability could always continue to be improved upon."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"The dashboard and pricing need improvement."
"Lacks time series data and additional driving support would be helpful."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"The scaling for database online transactions needs improvement."
"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."
"The performance could be better."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
"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."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
