mysql instead of flat-file data storage?

Post by krimson »

Hello,

I am trying to make the eggdrop save all it's user and chan info to a mysql database instead of using it's standard flat-file storage. the reason for this attempt is that i want to make user/chan info less shell dependant (i had some problems with some shell providers in the past and lost a lot of important information). Another thing i would like to acomplish is creating a web interface for eggdrop (this process would be a lot simpler if having direct access to a mysql db instead of a flat-file db).

I am not expecting complex scripts or immediate solutions... i just need a starting point (forgot to mention i searched google for days before posting here.. sorry if i missed something).

Regards,
krimson

start studying eggdrop source code (knowing C programming is a prerequisite for that); what you want to accomplish cannot be done via scripting but only by modifying the bot itself
