The SQLite DB is fine for small libraries and basic setups. However, for larger setups it would be fantastic to have support for Postgresql or Mariah DB. This would give us a much better DB to work with. ---

Another, older request for the same already exists, and has more votes > [@\[REQUEST\] Move from SQLite to MySQL or Postgres](https://forums.plex.tv/t/request-move-from-sqlite-to-mysql-or-postgres/78346): > > I would like to request that the metadata database com.plexapp.plugins.library.db move from SQLite to MySQL or Postgres ( Or any real external db for that matter).  I feel that this would bring additional stability and repair functionality for large collections.  Additional if this database was available as an external shared resource it would allow for additional clustering and high availability functionality.   As such, I’ll close this so votes ain’t spread across requests Closing will return your vote ---
