Our sqlite world has exceeded 4 gb (currently at 5.5) so we need a new database backend to handle the increased size. PostgreSQL seems like the best alternative.
Advantages
Greater use of memory to improve performance
Automatic re-indexing using the auto vacuum feature
Backups while minetest users are playing
Continuous backups, using automatic transaction log archiving
Ability use separate application and database server, for increased performance
Redundancy, load balancing, and failover, via PostgreSQL features
Issue closed. I did not go with the PostgreSQL database backend as it required too much time to get working. The world has successfully been migrated to LevelDB.
