Greetings! I am one of the developers of a MUD, and we have recently decided to rewrite our entire driver to C++/OOP and use MySQL to store our data, so it has become my duty to begin to learn about all the facets of MySQL. I have been going through FAQs, manuals, etc, and we are also using MySQL++ to interface to the database. Here are a few general questions that I've got at this point: 1. We would like to make saving/retrieving information from the database non-blocking, if possible. Does anyone have any suggestion for this? Our thoughts were to write an external program to fetch information and return it to our main program; is there any easier way to handle this? Is it even necessary to make calls to the database non-blocking? 2. When our driver boots and begins accepting connections, would it be more feasible to read the various tables into memory structures, rather than querying the database everytime we need information on a specific item within the game? Thanks for your help! Also, if anyone might be willing to help us in a forum other than the list, a personal reply would be great. (it would not, of course, be a paying position, but just for asking advice) --- Jon A.
