Which Should I Use? - Abreezy - 28.01.2012

Which system should I use?


Y_INI or MySQL, or what else?

I'm having issues with loading, with y_ini so should I use mysql or what? Thanks for positive feedback?


Re: Which Should I Use? - Ballu Miaa - 28.01.2012

What everyone will say over here is : MYSQL is the best and y_ini is the finest ini reader/writer.

Deciding on this depends upon you only. If your gonna have a UCP for your server and gonna integrate it with Database's and stuff so you should go for MYSQL!

if your not gonna have any UCP and never thinking to even have one. Then you should go for y_ini for'sure!


Re: Which Should I Use? - Abreezy - 28.01.2012

Well i feel y_ini is so much harder to use especially for loading. I'm not limiting only to these two options, I'll take any options you guys think


Re: Which Should I Use? - Ballu Miaa - 28.01.2012

y_ini is the fastest as well the most efficient ini reader/writer we got on SAMP Community.
You can go for dini which sucks deep. Its newbie friendly as well as easy. Even im updating my server's script to MYSQL now as dini sucks deep lol. Its upto you in the end ya know!

No INI is faster than MySQL. INI is a decrepit(outdated) data storage system. It was good on older days, not now. MySQL and SQLite is the best storage system for games and I prefer MySQL. But if you don't have MySQL server then I suggest you to use SQLite instead.

- But uhm yea', as they said above it entirely depends. I mean if you're not really looking to implement a User Control Panel or web stats then you don't really have to worry about MySQL although it does make things a lot easier in my opinion and sometimes (still in my opinion) the lack of a MySQL server severely limits you.

I have a mysql server as I own a VPS. I've decided to just move to Mysql, which plugin should I use? Strickenkids or the other?


Re: Which Should I Use? - Ballu Miaa - 28.01.2012

strickenkids is just fine. Go for it i say! The other one is also good. Depends upon the way you the code everything as well as the working of it!
