If SQLite is working then stick with it. It's a perfectly adequate solution.Yes, many thanks for advises from you and many forum posters. we got Pi 5 on hand. Grafana and SQLite running happily. Will install PostgreSQL in a moment and try.Should be fine but I would go with PostgreSQL.
Is it the Pi5 or Pi zero from this previous post? viewtopic.php?p=2245471#p2245471
May I ask why recommend PostgreSQL? Is PostgreSQL more advanced or less advanced than MySQL (which we have been using for simple DIY task)
Many thanks
PostgreSQL is a "proper" database engine, and has vastly more features and capabilities. However, if you don't need them then there's no need to use it.
If you are interested in databases then it would be worth reading about PostgreSQL and also MariaDB. At some point you might need something more powerful for some project. It is useful to be able to say to yourself "ah, this is a job for PostgreSQL". It's also immensely satisfying to know that SQLite is all you need for a certain project. It is very light indeed.
Here's an article discussing why you might choose one over the other:
