Hi
You may use Mysql but it's considered as experimental.
Mysql works for me with xmp tags. Be careful, experiment first in a 
special account/user only used for testing. If you dot it, always sync 
from images tags to database and never from database to images (you may 
loose yours tags). If it doesn't work, you can return to sqlite.
