[Opensim-users] SQLite vs MySQL - any big difference?

[Chris Hart]

MSSQL works very well too (and Express edition is free for databases up
to 4Gb). While it's not officially supported by core devs to the same
extent as MySQL, those of us who use it are avid patchers and keep the
MSSQL side up-to-date. As far as OpenSim is concerned, you can use it
for standalone, but SQLite is extremely simple out of the box for a
basic standalone. It's a solid alternative to MySQL.

It is funny to see MySQL being described as the more robust solution,
when some (very uninformed) people still call it a 'toy database' -
which was sort of true in 1999, but not 2009. In 2009, MySQL is an
extremely robust, high-performance, high-reliability database that
scales quite nicely. I'd highly recommend it over SQLite for any kind
of reliability, but as mentioned before, for single-user sandboxes,
SQLite may be easier out of the box.
