Hello!
I'm pretty new to Pawno/samp scripting, I have read a bit about the data saving options and it seems like there is 2 favorites.
MySQL and Yini.

My question is pretty simple
wich of them is better, faster loading data, faster to script with when you know them, easier to learn ( i have read a little bit about them both so i pretty much know the same about them.) and wich of them do you recommend for me to use and Why?

I have also seen some kind of different types of SQL what's the difference?

I will use it for trying to create some kind of RP server.

(something other i should know about them both?)

It should also be a big help if you could link some nice tutorials on how to learn the one you think is better.

Thanks to everyone that are willing to help me with this question.

It all depends on the amount of data you're saving and what you want to do with it. INI file system are usually very basic. SQLite and MySQL have lots of different functions to work with math, text, date, hashing, etc. Not to mention that MySQL can easily be integrated in PHP should you decide to make a web control panel or something.

MySQL is most definitely superior. Flatfile is an old and tacky way of storing data.

MySQL Tables, Databases, ... are all saved in files.
-> Flatfile is an old and tacky way of storing data.
So how do you think that MySQL saves its data?

mysql if you want a big population and you think you will.

y_ini is for big and medium, easier to understand as well.

In my point of view y_ini
