While making an SQL Item System has it's advantages:

- Simple backup of server items
- Easy analysis your the server's items
- Transactions

If you don't have any experience with SQL you can end up doing very bad things particularly making inefficient tables and queries that will cause a significant performance loss compared to making a simple clientr flag based one.

If you design your item system properly you should be able to "plug-in" an SQL back-end to it with ease.
