In the unlikely case you're running SQLite, it's possible to get okay performance on btrfs too:

That said, I avoid it like the plague on servers, to get acceptable performance (or avoid fragmentation) with VMs or databases you need to disable COW which disables many of it's features, so it's better just to roll with XFS (and get pseudo-snapshots anyway).
