Yes, I’m using the docker based setup as described here: [Deploy with Docker - Gramps Web](https://www.grampsweb.org/install_setup/deployment/) Could I avoid the problem by using a MySQL database? Until now I did not used the objects endpoint as it does not provide PUT. In the meantime, I also found why my code was sending requests in parallel: I forgot an `await`. 😊 But how could I recover from a locked database in future? Because parallel requests are also possible (but not very likely) when two users are changing the tree at the same time. ---

> [@avanc](#): > > Could I avoid the problem by using a MySQL database? Until now I did not used the objects endpoint as it does not provide PUT. Gramps Web doesn’t support MySQL. It support Postgres, but for a handful of users this is usually not needed. I run my own tree with SQLite and never have problems – as long as the tools interfacing with the API don’t send exactly simultaneous requests. > But how could I recover from a locked database in future? Because parallel requests are also possible (but not very likely) when two users are changing the tree at the same time. I honestly don’t know. Would be good to find out for sure… [Previous page](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/using-gramps-web-api-for-adding-new-information/8652.md?page=1)
