There’s an actual feature suggestion discussing this topic (and what database servers to use instead).

> 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). &nbsp;I feel that this would bring additional stability and repair functionality for large collections. &nbsp;Additional if this database was available as an external shared resource it would allow for additional clustering and high availability functionality. &nbsp;
