Using the sql dll means you need to install mysql which not all people are completely understanding with.



copying the libmysql.dll is fine, no need to instal mysql, my sql in fact is the SERVER not the client, so you do not need to install anything else than your game.



What I had meant was the developer using the mysql dll say for example they wish to create a database of their users they need - according to the Documentation that came with that DLL since it connects to a database you need to off created beforehand - to have it set up so they can view such data.

Tips:
When developping a game using a database, I recommand installing MySQL server on your computer.
You also need other tools to manage the database for your tests:
MySQL Administrator - http://www.mysql.com/products/administrator/
MySQL Query Browser - http://www.mysql.com/products/query-browser/




Whereas this method keeps it all in simple file form with the ability to store/write/access whatever you want without worrying about anything such as mysql queries/database setup/running a mysql server for A6 to access, this is ease on the Server side of things not Client side allowing the engine to just retrieve data on login/logout/disconnect all of which have event types predefined in the C-Script syntax - this method stores nothing client side. Sorry should have explained that more in detail.

I was just about to log for the night and saw new post, Ive made a little program demostrating this so once I got some sleep and done a little testing Ill upload it here for you to play with ^_^ night night all.
