Help with databases

by Thomas Reynolds · in Torque Game Engine · 05/20/2011 (1:09 pm) · 4 replies

Hello all

I would like to know about databases in Torque.
Several things in specific, listed below

1) What is the easiest database file format to use/call
2) How would I create a database
3) How would I save/load to a database
4) Uses and organization of data

I know this is a lot of stuff, but if there is a tutorial or something you guys could refer me to, that would be extremely helpful.

Thanks

During the evolution of my project, I have used two reliable database solutions both contained in resources here.
For single player games I recommend sqlite3 with this resource:

For multi player online games I recommend odbc this resource:

Both work with the Beta 3 and AFX. I imagine that they will still operate with the final version too.

I actually want to implement a simple save/load database into an existing game.

I didn't read through the link topics, but they look helpful

You can't use those resource as they require modification of the engine c++ code and it appears you aren't licensed to use Torque.

There is no out of the box support for databases built into torque.

Maybe a psuedo-database then. All I really would like is a way to save/load data to and from a database file format like SQL.
