I don't think it's possible. It's a direct port from zMUD and doesn't support docking.

zmud supported docking of the DB window, and it would save with layout, so it would be open on a new session... i keep forgetting to open the dang thing in cmud

Right, but ZMud used a totally different and very incompatible docking scheme. It looks like Zugg purposely disabled docking for the DB module but either overlooked this or chose not to do the same to the old mapper.
At any rate, exactly because it's a direct copy from ZMud you wouldn't want to dock it anyways. Being docked, the DB module would be inaccessible to everything else the same as if you closed the window.
Also, the DB module does save with the layout--just not very reliably. Sometimes it won't save its state at all, sometimes it will. If it appears on session opening, sometimes the state of the database file would not be preserved (ie, sometimes it would stay open, sometimes it would close and you'd have to open it again). |

As said, you can't. Not until I rewrite the DB module to use the CMUD docking system, which won't be until the entire database module gets rewritten to use SQLite.
The window docking system in zMUD and CMUD are completely different. |

bleh, i gave up using the built in db, keep forgetting to open it when i open cmud.
in zmud t opened with my session as it was docked... now i go on a global, and nothing is looked up because i forgot to open the db...
I just went to using ADODB and SQLite3... EVERYTHING works in it.. i know there is #SQLDB, but it frankly sucks atm... missing a lot of stuff, has some wierd open bugs, etc. I dont think SQLite was fully implemented into the latest cmud. |

No, as Zugg said above, he has not fully implemented SQLite yet. However, if there are bugs in #SQLDB, you should report them. That is the purpose of beta testing.

I am not aware of anything it is "missing".

You can try putting a #DBLOAD command into your OnConnect event

Not sure what you mean. SQLite is fully used in CMUD for everything *except* the Database Module which requires a complete rewrite from scratch. That rewrite is a large project and has to be prioritized with the many other projects on my list (mapper stuff, unicode, etc) |
