Database Support

Postby mjdeslon » February 4th, 2010, 10:42 pm

Is there some documentation on how to implement database support out there? Also what database functionality is currently avaliable?

Database isn't ready yet, you can still host your own external database on your own server.

We're working on a persistance solution -- we don't really know the exact final format or when it will be available.

But, it will be there :D

What I think is important for it:
- The data should still be there when everyone disconnects.
- It should also allow the server to get user-specific data from players that aren't connected.

Hi Tsuken,

Just a short note to let you know that we've launched the persistence/database solution

It's called BigDB, and you can read more about it here:

http://playerio.com/features/bigdb/
http://playerio.com/documentation/bigdb/

I'm pretty sure it matches your stated requirements.
