I agree with Francis on this,
Using a tested database engine will save us for tomorrow since there may
not be a need to fix errors resulting from the database engine.
We have found issues of different errors with different users as a result
of database misconfiguration so, switching to a different database engine
may limit your support in case of any issues.

Regards
Ibrahim
