| Is me again~~~ :D
I'm learning about Array / Table function right now :D..
there are few questions about that. As I learn about that is very powerful, can store many data just like Cmuds database variables (.dbvar), in different format...list inside a list....but...I have few questions about that.
1. I want to manage a large database just like a room_name, room_directions, path of comming, path of leaving, npc's name in this room, room type, area name...zone name...
there were over 10+ tittle and the content of each tittle are strings, may be more than 1 string, many strings....also over 1000+ records...
i. many tittle
ii.long contents of each tittle
iii. over 1000+ records.
in this case, do array still good? I think it can use but very hard to manage...-.-"...in this case do I'm able to look SQL database?
2. If I want make some Global stored record in table, am I able to write it to script file?
3. actually...my question I think is asking for a database table like cmud's DB...XD...any plugin can make this easily?

| Lua tables are both arrays and "databases" rolled into one.
-- Table used as an array
local arr = {"hi", "hmm", "foobar"}
-- Table used as a hash
local hash = {
foo = 42,
bar = 200,
twisol = 1337,
}
-- Table used as both!
local mixed = {
"a", "b", "c",
stuff = 50,
}
Array entries (items in a table with no key =) are automatically given a numeric key, so in mixed above you'd use mixed[3] to get "c", and mixed["stuff"] to get 50.
I'm not sure what you mean in your second question, can you explain? |

"databases"
I think you mean dictionaries. |

| | Hence the quotes. I was using his term because that's what he's familiar with, and tables are a passable analog to zmud databases anyways. |

1000 records isn't large. 10,000 or 100,000 can easily be handled by tables.
However you can also use SQLite3 databases (that is SQL). There is a lot of support for that in the client, see:
