Hi,
I was wondering what the best database would be for a onlineline game?
Unless you have money to fork out for a big vendor license. I'd choose a free DBMS like that of MySQL or even PostgreSQL. They both will accomplish the same task.
I tried to learn mysql but i can't find any tutorials for it..
Welcome to VBForums! :wave:
I would recommend using whichever is available with the hosting package - the chances are that other types will not be supported.
As far as I am aware MySQL can be used just like any other database system, so if you know how to work with a database then it should be no different.. if you haven't worked with databases before then you may want to look at the "ADO Tutorial" link in my signature to get an idea of how it is done - but note that this is VB6 code, which you may not be able to use. The SQL links in my signature will help to learn the syntax for getting information from the database (and updating what is there).
Try looking in their site: http://www.mysql.com/. There is a downloadable help file there and other tools you may need...Quote:
