On the other hand, MySQL requires significantly more configuration as compared to SQLite. Security and Ease of SetupĪs alluded to in the previous section, SQLite requires little to no configuration, making it extremely easy to set up. For larger databases, this can be a time-consuming process. Moreover, no configurations are required, and the process can be done using minimal support.īefore copying or exporting a MySQL database, you need to condense it into a single file. The SQLite library is about 250 KB in size, while the MySQL server is about 600 MB.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.What Is SQLite and How Does It Differ from MySQL? by Robert Gravelle Navicat is a tool I will not live without. I use Navicat almost daily now for everything from backups to table maintenance and everything between. I had to move our site several times since then and Navicat made that process very easy as you can open several databases on many servers at the same time and work between them seamlessly.

It was so easy to use I almost couldn’t believe how fast I could fix things and I found myself going to the site to verify things were corrected. In less than an hour I was set up and had fixed problems in that evening that would take days without this great tool. I haven’t looked elsewhere as there is no need. There was nothing like it at the time and bet there still is not. In 2015 I found Navicat and my life went from sinking fast to success over night. Needless to say I was more than rusty and the search began for a tool that was easy enough for a beginner and still powerful enough for advance DB management. In 2014 I took on the management/development responsibility of a not for a profit website. My formal programming and database management training dates back to the early 90s and I used very little of those skills for many years following university. I want to start my review with a bit of my background.
