For most people's purposes I'd assume that ease-of-use, ease-of maintenance, relatively good speed, safe, documented, feature rich and scalable is important. I like SQLite, and while it's cool that they've fixed some big things around safety and clustering, it still seems like a "below-bare-minimum" choice for a lot of production systems, or am I just being old school? MariaDB (/ MySQL) really has a whole lot of good features that I thought would just make it a safer choice? What do people think and why?
