What database do you use with plots2? (poll)

[jywarren]

Hi all, we're curious what database do you use with plots2? We're discussing in #4896 whether to continue supporting sqlite or not -- and want to know how many people currently use different database types!

On local-machine or in development, I prefer to use SQLite because it is very easy to set up, drop etc. So my vote goes to SQLite.

@namangupta01 do you have mysql installed on your system as well and just choose to use sqlite? I was wondering if you'd be able to to try and see if you receive this error in plots2: #2712 (comment)

[namangupta01]

Yes, @sashadev-sky, I do have MySQL installed on my computer and even then I try to use SQLite wherever I could.
Let me check for the error. I have run the test using SQLite several times but I didn't get any such type of error. But I think I should try to test it now to check if this problem is with everyone else.

thank you naman and sasha!

@namangupta01 I'm interested in knowing what you get when you ran rake db:reset and rake db:setup while on SQLite. I'd be happy to know if nothing breaks for you! Mind sharing this info?

And @namangupta01 -- if we did choose to deprecate sqlite support, do you think it would be very disruptive to you? We're trying to weigh the pros and cons, but leaning towards using just one DB. Thank you for your input!

@namangupta01 thank you!! @siaw23 you have a much more in depth understanding of the sqlite issue so i'll leave it to you to investigate with @namangupta01 but i'm also interested so keep me in the loop if you open any new issues on it, etc!

Hi everyone, let's move forward with this unless we want to have more contributors' opinion on this one. Also, if we decide on closing polls, do copy the result in #4896 and let's continue the discussion there only.

Thanks!
