SQL!
« on: November 11, 2008, 05:58:40 pm »
See http://erroraccessdenied.com/node/1639 for my newly released SQL code.

It provides two methods of connecting to an SQL server:
1) Through the use of the driver efuns (to allow realtime, although blocking, SQL statements. YES, this means we can finally have SQL-ized player logins :))
2) Through the use of extern_cmds (sp?) to allow non-blocking SQL queries by using callbacks

Blocking on player logins would be bad unless the driver actually threads each connection.  I know it's pretty rare for an SQL server these days to lag much, but if you pick a bad time (like during a system backup), it could get ugly. :)

Great job though!

If you think loading player files from the file system doesn't block, I have a bridge to sell you :)

I added an item to the "Things you must do to get SQL running" list, it now includes "edit /secure/daemon/master.c to allow the SQL daemon to access a socket". I attached a file outlining the change that's required.

Without this, you'd get non-blocking sockets ending up as -7, instead of a positive integer.

Hmmmm....  I suppose so.  Although I tend to think of disk resources as being more reliable than network resources (which most databases are).  Good point Wodan! ;)
