Databases
|
Two questions.
Can I open a database and add info to it via triggers, then close it, open another and add to that one. The databases themselves are in my INETPUB directory for my website. Should there be any problem with that? Also, if I want to be able to use the databases for a website, will I have trouble opening the db in access, or is there a converter?

Yes, you can open a database, modify it, close it and then open another. I believe you can't open a database if it is not wihin the zMUD directory, but I might be wrong on that. Finally, the databases are stored in a propietary format, so there is no way to view them except with zMUD.

I've never tried it, but I get the impression it's possible to open more than one database in zMUD. If you plan to do this, you should try to make sure the first two characters of each database are different.
database 1, equipment.db
database 2, mobs.db
database 3, areas.db

Anyway to convert the database to a readable format? I'm not trying to share maps or anything, I just need a way to get all the items I have got into the database where I can put them on a website and make it searchable, I really don't want to add stuff by hand.

You can go through your entire database and spit it out to a text file
using CSV format etc.
