Hi,
Please give SQLite database backend as much priority as MySQL because SQLite is easier to set up and is adequate for smaller forums with lesser activity. MySQL is resource hungry and also requires a separate process to set up. Back ups are also easier with SQLite.
Please give SQLite more priority and allow users to migrate easily from MySQL to SQLite.
Also MySQL is now owned by Oracle, it might be better to think of something like Postgresql for the future.

If you are conserned about MySQL have a look at
mariadb it is a drop in replacement, on that note and a bit offtopic Oracle does seem to be slowly closing the source on MySQL

That's a load of bull in that blog post.
And MyBB does support SQLite...any bugs you find simply report them so they can be fixed.

I know that SQLite is supported. I am just asking that SQLite support is enabled for Merge database tool so that I can migrate my MySQL db to SQLite database.
The strange thing about the bugs is that they are occuring only when I converted from MySQL to SQLite.
I will investigate further.
