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."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"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 features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source product and offers its users great online community support."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB."
"One of the great features of MariaDB is its scalability. It's easy to handle even with large databases."
"The product is lightweight and highly scalable."
"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."
"I haven't encountered any problems in my use cases. So, it has been a stable product for me."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"I use Flutter Technology with the JSF plugin."
"Could have more integration with user platforms."
"I am editing."
"The stability could always continue to be improved upon."
"An improvement would be scaling it up to the levels of Oracle, especially when it comes to resilience, so that we can do higher transactions for two databases or power our operation."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"It does not have tools for debugging procedures and functions."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"It would be good if they can maybe improve the mass import in the database. Currently, for importing a large number of data, we create a CSV file and upload all the things in the system. The system does not activate them by default. We have to do this manually. This may be due to the version we are using, but this is something we would like to see improved."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
"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."
"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."
"The performance could be better."
