Currently, only SQLite is supported, which is fine for small instances, but MySQL/MariaDB would be much better for bigger installs and flexibility. Plus, the two database backends are very similar, and the sql statements generally hold for both systems, so it would probably be very simple to implement.

This however also brings possible bugs and increases testing requirements, so it should probably be considered a bit later in development, when the database structure gets more solid.
