On another topic to my earlier post, can somone point me to any documentation involving how to attach BlitzMax to local database. Perhaps directly or via ODBC, I'm not bothered.

Hmmm. No local database (I'm pretty sure, someone correct me if I'm wrong!) unless you use the SQLite module... Teamonkey made one:

SQLite allows the creation and manipulation of databases locally without any server software setup, its pretty similar in syntax to mysql, but is lacking SOME of the commands. Also, someone made another module called SQLiter too

They're both pretty friendly so holler at them (or me) if you have any questions. I'm no expert like they are, but I've fiddled with SQLiter a lot, I'm not 133t enough for SQLite raw by itself.

A PostGreSQL/MySQL module from GMan can be found here:

I can vouch for the MySQL mod. I've had no problems integrating it into my MUD codebase.

Oh yeah duh, I've used GMan stuff for server-side MySQL too. Top notch, and HE'S friendly too! :)
