Database

To store the data, Trader-Recap needs a database connection. This can be either a SQLite- or a MySQL-Database. You get the same functionality with both.

Beside that, you should be aware of the differences.

The choice between MySQL and SQLite depends on the specific needs.

MySQL is a powerful relational database management system that is ideal for large, complex applications that require high performance and scalability. It supports advanced features like replication, clustering, and partitioning, making it a good choice for enterprise-level applications with heavy data loads and high transaction volumes.

On the other hand, SQLite is a lightweight, file-based database that is ideal for smaller applications that do not require advanced features or high levels of concurrency. It is easy to set up and use, has a small memory footprint, and can be embedded directly into an application. It's a good choice for simple web or mobile applications with moderate data loads and low traffic.

So, if you are just working with Trader-Recap as a long time recapitulation tool, SQLite will be enough. If you a heavy day trader and there will be hundreds of trades at the end of the year, a MySQL database will bring you faster results on the long run.
