[Digikam-users] Run Digikam @ Sqlite or Mysql benefits/limitations?

[DHL]

I have installed Digikam 3.5.0 on Mac OS 10.9. I am experiencing  
difficulty installing Mysql server due to the following message error:

'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' exists!

I have discovered that I can run Digikan with "Type" setting of Sqlite in  
the database setting. Is the performance of Digikam diminished  or its  
integrity compromised by running it with Sqlite?
Thanks for you consideration,
Dave
