 If you decide to use a MySQL or MariaDB database, ensure the following:
 
+* The transaction isolation level is set to "READ-COMMIT" in your MariaDB server configuration :file:`/etc/mysql/my.cnf` to persist even after a restart of your database server.
+
+  Verify the **transaction_isolation** and **binlog_format**:
+
+::
+
+  [mysqld]
+  ...
+  transaction_isolation = **READ-COMMITTED**
+  binlog_format = **ROW**
+  ...
+
+Your :file:`/etc/mysql/my.cnf` could look like this:

 * That the **mysql.default_socket** points to the correct socket (if the database runs on the same server as Nextcloud).
