I was going to say, why “small” with “MySQL”, and then I remember that, at 
one time. KDE would run an entire personal instance of MySQL on every 
logged-in GUI session, presumably for contacts databases and stuff like 
that.

So, to those who automatically assume that MySQL/MariaDB is only suitable 
for “heavyweight” uses ... beware of being misled by traditional 
proprietary-software marketing categories!

Ah <https://store.kde.org/p/1126366>, now that seems to be purely a GUI 
front-end tool, with no built-in DBMS of its own. Do you find LibreOffice 
Base to be a better choice in that category?
