Using a database for buddylist

Postby cpdavidd » 25 Oct 2010, 16:33

Hello,

I'm encourcing a small problem. I'm going to have more than 1 game server. And I need, that the buddylist for the x user would be same at any server. So I thought that the best way would be, that the buddylist would be stored in database like MySQL.

It is possible to use MySQL with the current SFS buddy persister?

Thanks

BuddyList v2 uses an embedded database (h2database) - so that'll be ideal for your purpose.

Um... thanks for the fast response. :)

H2 database is interesting, but I prefer MySQL (because I can't run H2?)... is there any way to use MySQL

Yes, but you need to create your Persister class which handles the loading and saving of the buddy list.

Go to http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/docP ... yList2.htm and read under Custom Persistence classes
