Load just the keys from BigDB

Postby zinkinteractive » August 20th, 2011, 12:04 pm

So, we store our levels in BigDB. Data and everything.
I want to make a level selection box.
It would be wasteful to load the whole levels. (2-300k per level)

Can I load just the keys?

Is this possible?

No, that is not something we support like that. I guess the best solution would be to store the level keys in another table and load that when you just want the list.

I have the same problem in Everybody Edits. While pondering the issue I realized that it applies not only to the key, but all meta data attached to my worlds. Thus I am migrating to a model where the actual level data is a separate object.
