Native apps using local mysql server or equivalent

[rbclemen]

I have ordered a Pinephone and I am looking to experiment with writing apps for Linux devices. 

One question that I cannot seem to find any mention of in the forum--Would a program that relies on a locally running MySQL backend be at all practical?

Apps tend to use sqlite because it has a much smaller resource footprint.

Thank you. I will look into it. It is probably sufficient for my initial requirements
