How do you use the sqldb extention? Is it possible to make a... like an online game where profiles is saved to it and then retrieved from mysql using this object? I'm noob at mysql please help
It requires some knowledge of the SQL language and how SQL databases work. It's a fairly simple language though, and there's plenty of tutorials on the net (Google is your friend on this one).
There are alternatives though, if it sounds too complicated. The MooClick and MooGame extensions let you create server-side INIs that you can use to store player profiles and data, but it's not nearly as secure as using a proper SQL database.

It uses SQLite, which is a database system where all tables and data are stored in a file on a host computer (a server). I haven't actually used the SQLdb extension, but this is how I think it works: The "open file" command lets you specify a database file to use. Then, to get or to manipulate database data, you use the "run SQL" function to send SQL commands to the host. But for that, you naturally need to learn the SQL language first.
Can someone tell me how to make a much simpler thing then; A game that isn't online, but you can download anywhere and enter username/password and then get your 1p account for that game? Like having one score for money, and one for progress and one for difficulity? Even that would be awsome! Hope someone will help.
