I upgraded to SC9 when it came out and am definitely still a learner so be kind 
I decided to do one of the tutorials today, the e-learning system one, and within the first 7 minutes struck a problem.
When trying to create the new project, import the elearning project then set up a database, I chose SQLite as it’s the default. But at Step 4/4 - Creating the database… it hangs.
Am on a Mac and it’s a fresh install so not a great start…
Any ideas? or do I have to setup MySQL.
Thanks
I know very little about Mac, but in php sqlite is available by default. But since you don’t want to deploy your apps under sqlite (I guess as sqlite is not suitable for multiuser access due to it’s locking mechanism per table, not record) I would recommend using MariaDB or MySQL.
Also recommending mysql as Albert, and get rid of Mac for development, you will find issues soon or later, I miss my Windows environment, I’m building one using Pararells desktop now.

Thanks for your answers. I’ve now installed MySQL and am using that and all is working well. The Mac environment suits me fine as it marries up nicely when I move things to the Unix environment (so far)… never had much luck or joy with microsoft.
very good, that was my original plan, but seems i gave up after few issues in mac 
maybe i will reconsider, then i will need your help in some items
