Database Loading?

[Wayne Rayner]

Hey guys,

I have been programming lately and the next phase of my latest project is going to need loading items from a database.

I currently have around 50 items and its getting hard to keep loading the information from text files.

Currently the text data is used for employees in the game I am developing, each employee has his/her own unique skills etc. Just I think oneday it could get as big as up to 2000 to 30000 items and that will be alot of text files so a database would be so much easier.

I would like to know of any information for loading database files as well as any pointers for it. I would also like to know if basic4GL can do this

Thanks guys

Yeah it could be done in Basic4GL. :-)

You could just use Arrays to store the Data then you could Save & Load the Data in the Array.

Is the game you're working on being developed in Basic4GL, Wayne?

yes it is. Each employee has about 12 fields so I would have to have like 12 arrays for and then 50 lots of data for each array dam this is complicated lol. I will read about database loading some time today
