Playerworld SQL
 

I would REALLLLLLLLLLLLLY like it if you (Stefan) could allow playerworlds to startup a SQL server for the game.

By that I mean a SQL server that allows the server (though serverside scripting and such) to access a mysql database through serverside functions. And would be nice to add a SQL button to the RC so we can load up a nice.. organized SQL viewer :)

This would be great for us people that want to use a more advanced item system that dont feel like trying to make an adhoc mudlib.

Anyone else with me on this?

Yes. SQL is just so much better for databases than homebrew solutions

I THINK you were able to view SQL of PWS several yrs ago :o (like 6?)

He does not mean that; he means each server having a database or so for which can be used to store data using gscript.

Alternative to the current databases where even /savenpcs 75% of the time dont work? :o

No. Take this example.

A PHP script can connect to a MySQL server and store/retrieve data. What Warcaptain is suggesting is a way for gscript to be able to do that.

Exactly :)

So then, Warcaptain can...

TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

*Gasp*

Not really to take over the world... Mostly just to be able to do away with nasty string-based items systems, avoid the convoluted mudlib, and also to bridge the gap between the gserver and the web [to do cool things like online stats and web-interface server maintenance, etc...]

It just makes sense to do database work in... well... a database =\

Ahh, graal script interacting with mysql db's. Would actually be very useful

Look at you, pretending to know stuff.

Anyways, Stefan!! REPLYYy!!

It'd also mean that if you dont know how to protect SQL databases properly, people like me would have a field day running around and changing things.

Actually.. I know enough php to understand what skylds talking about. kthx.

Man, I read what people in the thread said.

Stop ruining fun of forums. :(:(

It does not neccesarily need to be something accesable by any web browser.. (though that would be real nice for web stuff)

But my biggest need is for having a much easier accesable serverside database.

I doubt you would really be able to crack it unless there was unprotected onActionServersides.. but most of mine are very well protected.
