Applicable to Project Manager running […]

A small studio of 5–20 artists and a large company with thousands of users are both trivial for MySQL/MariaDB on ordinary hardware — these engines routinely run far heavier workloads. You will not outgrow it. Applicable to Project Manager running on a shared MySQL/MariaDB database (multi-user/team […]
This is the one shortcut that genuinely doesn’t work reliably. SQLite is excellent for local, single-user workflows, but it is not designed for concurrent multi-user writes over a network share — file-locking behaviour over SMB/NAS leads to errors, lost changes, or a corrupted file. It’s a known limitation of network filesystem semantics, not something Project […]

What actually matters is that the account has full privileges (Section 4). Studios with stricter security policy can use per-user accounts; see the advanced note in Section […]
