Database objects

[DustyPorViva]

I don't know if this, or anything akin to this, is already possible... so excuse this post if it is. I propose a new type of object, database objects. These would be much like a spreadsheet, where you create a database, and can add/remove rows and columns.

NPC Code:

---

items = new TstaticDB();  // sorry, I dunno how you initialize new variables



items.createrow("Image"); // Creates a row named 'Image'

items.createrow("Weaponname"); // Creates a row 'Weaponname'

items.createrow("Weight"); // Creates a row 'Weight'

items.addcolumn("Bow"["Image"="wbowi1.png","Weaponname"="-Bow","Weight"=6]]); // Adds a named Bow, specifying the rows for the Image,Weaponname, and Weight



items.deleterow("Weaponname") // Removes the row 'Weaponname'

---

and to access the database object:

NPC Code:

---

temp.test=items.column("Bow"); // would return {wbowi1.png,-Bow,6}

temp.test=items.row("Image"["Bow"]); // would return wbowi1.png

temp.test=items.row("Image"); // would return an array of all items in the Image row

---

I was posting this as I went, so things might be disorganized, and it might not be the best design of commands and such, but I think you get the idea. If anyone has suggestions on what to add to this, go ahead.
