Hello evr1,

I am curious as how to embed either SQLite or MySQL into a game that I am writing in Java that I would like to store stuff in a fashion like Firefox 3.0 does with bookmarks. The question I have is how do you emded it with in the application without having someone install it?

I guess by setting up a mysql server that all players can access. Are you familiar with JDBC?

jay,

The way I was envisioning is that each player has a database with each of their characters information stored in the database. When I develop a multiplayer/PvP portion to the game, I will have a server-side java app tell the cleint side to access its database for character info. The reason I want to set it up this way is so I can keep as much of the data processing to client rather than the server.

BTW I am in the process of familiarizing myself with JDBC
