Hello,
I am new with the extensive use of Calibre. But after having thousands of books I decided to manage this amount with Calibre.

All books are on my Network Attached Storage (NAS) which is a Synology 214+ one.

Adding books and building the metadata.db by Calibre went well. The metadata.db is stored on the NAS as well. Anyway Calibre is a bit slow when it comes to selecting or searching titles of such amount.


Is Calibre able to store all this data in a SQL database instead in the metadata.db?

SQL db which is installed with the Synology NAS is MariaDB - an advanced MySQL DB.

Is it possible to connect Calibre to the MariaDB on the NAS?

If yes - is there a description how to do this? I am not a DB expert, but could do a step by step installation / migration.

Thank you for helping me doing this.

Thank you Kovid for this wonderful tool!!

Greetings
