There are currently 2 ways to interface with a MySQL database, and there are most likely ways for it to interact with PSQL.

What you are trying to do with this interface, wikll depend on what the answer is.

1 of the ways to interact with MySQL (possibly PSQL, with a different package), is using a Tcl package.

This will allow you to use Tcl commands to interact, by obtaining information an manipulating the DB.

The other way for MySQL. There was a module floating about a few months back, which logged all incoming text from a IRC server. WHile this didn't allow interaction, it could be used to obtain stats, using SQL queries and a few calculations in some form of language.

There is no current way to load and save userfiles in a MySQL DB, Though it would be possible in Tcl, it would still be using eggdrops own userfile system at the same time.

There has been many posts on the forum about this, which a tiny search for the word MySQL would have brought them up.

A simple google search for "tcl mysql" would bring up a good candidate right away.

.. don't happen to know if there's something to work with Microsoft SQL Server as well?

Preferably pre-compiled for Windows.
