Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and others in Open Source Databases."It's a very easy product to set up."
"It's easy to set up."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"Installation is straightforward."
"The solution has PL/SQL compatibility."
"MariaDB has a straightforward initial setup with easy-to-understand documentation."
"One of the great features of MariaDB is its scalability. It's easy to handle even with large databases."
"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."
"SQLite’s most valuable feature is the ability to store granular-level backups of databases."
"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 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."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"MariaDB should provide HA and archive logging... I haven't had the opportunity to use the features provided by the solution since I don't know how to see them."
"The price could be less expensive."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"The difficult part related to the product stems not from the tool itself but is related to learning how to implement the product in the right way without creating any wrong configuration that could cause security issues or performance issues."
"The license should be cheaper and closer to that offered by MySQL, Oracle and other products."
"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."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
"The performance could be better."
"A potential drawback is that the database file stored within the application's local storage could be accessible to users."
