Well, I can easily just decide to support one of the database backends
even if Logitech support both, so from a plugin development perspective
it really doesn't matter. The only scenario that would make it easier
for me personally would be if ONLY MySQL was supported, but this
obviously isn't an option since MySQL costs a lot for Logitech support
staff due to problems with antivirus software.

Ok, if that's the situation the problem might be smaller than I
suspected, I got the impression from other posters that MySQL was badly
broken in 7.6.

Would you prefer to get that MySQL bug corrected or get some music
related bug corrected ?
You are as well as me aware of that this really is the choice with the
limited number of resources Logitech dedicates the the Squeezebox
development.
Are you sure this MySQL bug isn't just the tip of the iceberg ?
I have this device to play music, so I would prefer if the focus was to
spend time fixing bugs/enhancements that improves the music listening
experience.
As long as it works satisfactory, why do we care if they use SQLite or
MySQL ?
Why do we need the choice if SQLite works good enough ?
Have anyone seen any problems with SQLite ?
To me it feels like everyone just assumes that MySQL is faster in a
larger library but so far I haven't seen anyone that have actually
tried it.
Would it be possible for someone with a large library to compare:
- 7.5 with MySQL
and
- 7.6 with SQLite
Both these setups should work, as long as 7.6 with SQLite performs at
least as good as 7.5 with MySQL there shouldn't be a problem to drop
MySQL support.
They can keep the MySQL code if they like to, just don't spend any time
investigating, analyzing, supporting or fixing bugs related to MySQL. If
someone from the community feels MySQL is important, at least provide a
patch that solves the problem.
