mysql - 5.3

[stancs3]

Hi Gilles,
Many thanks for the quick reply. I had read that documentation, and I
re-read it to be sure.
It is good that the instructions indicate easily how to setup for
mysql/mariadb.
I am very likely to proceed with mysql/mariadb, but I am a bit
concerned that it is at the 'experimental' stage. Usually I don't have
a problem with being leading edge.
So, I am looking for a little advice on whether it is better to use
sqlite right now, and wait for the mysql to mature a bit more. Or,
whether mysql is stable enough now, and it is simply small improvements
yet to come.
I cannot judge this myself unless I try out both; which is of course OK
too.
