What point should someone decide to switch Database Systems *

Question

When developing whether its Web or Desktop at which point should a developer switch from SQLite, MySQL, MS SQL, etc

Answer

It depends on what you are doing. You might switch if:

• You need more scalability or better performance - say from SQLite to SQL Server or Oracle.
• You need access to more specific datatypes.
• You need to support a customer that only runs a particular database.
• You need better DBA tools.
• Your application is using a different platform where your database no longer runs, or it's libraries do not run.

There are many more reasons for switching and it all depends on your requirements.
