Hi there.. I was wondering and so forth.. blah.. Nah, what I was really thinking was: "Has anyone tried to put Everything the mud uses, into a SQL-Database?" I was playing around with PostgreSQL the other day, and found that it can be used for a lot of funny things, one of the first things I noted was that it didn't cost anything, the second being that nearly anything can program into the Database (Currently I have a Perl and a C thingie running against the DB). So to make a long story short, have anyone given this any thought, and what are the Pros/Cons with this?.. Oh yeah, another thing I noted, why is there a MAX_PASSWORD_LENGTH (Or at least, why is it set to 10??) S. P.
