A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@\[REQUEST\] Move from SQLite to MySQL or Postgres](https://forums.plex.tv/t/request-move-from-sqlite-to-mysql-or-postgres/78346/1): > > 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.   Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing). Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. * * * Rules for the Feature Suggestions forum section: - Please **search** before creating a new suggestion thread. - Only one feature per thread.
