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 documentation is quite straightforward."
"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."
"MariaDB is a user-friendly solution. Performance wise, it's better than SQL. With SQL, I would need to write a number of queries. In contrast, MariaDB is light."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"It is an absolutely stable solution."
"It is a scalable solution. It easily scales up and scales down."
"The solution is very stable. It was originally built under MySQL. It has a similar level of stability."
"Installation is straightforward."
"I use Flutter Technology with the JSF plugin."
"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."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
"The scaling for database online transactions needs improvement."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"It's not very stable. It needs improvement."
"The price could be less expensive."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"It should work across all fields like SQLite, as it is the basis of any application, even apps for phones and the like."
"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."
"It could have a user-friendly GUI and better intelligence features."
