You are therefore strongly advised not to use MySQL. Though our MySQL test suite ensures functionally identical behaviour to SQLite and PostgreSQL for the supplied test data in a default MySQL configuration, there are [many other subtle ways in which it can fail](https://web.archive.org/web/20190929090114/https://grimoire.ca/mysql/choose-something-else), and we do not have the manpower to account for most of these with certainty.
Also please note that as of this writing MariaDB cannot be used in place of MySQL as it lacks features of MySQL 8 which The Arsse requires. The awkwardly-named [_Percona Server for MySQL_](https://www.percona.com/software/mysql-database/percona-server), on the other hand, will work.
