Pick MySQL if…

It suits developers and organisations building relational SQL or NoSQL applications, including web, e-commerce, SaaS, and transaction-processing systems. Teams needing commercial security features or support can consider the paid editions.

Pick SQLite if…

SQLite suits developers who need device-local database storage, have low writer concurrency, and expect less than a terabyte of content.
