Hello all,

I've managed to have AppGameKit access an SQL database through its socket commands and then PHP on the server. I just wondered if there was a more elegant way to have AppGameKit directly interact with a database, either stored locally on the device or remotely on another server.

If you are using a server you can try using HTTP and have the server do the talking with the DB. If you need to talk with the DB using AppGameKit I guess not. Either write a library yourself or use a C/C++ library and write a plugin

I did notice AppGameKit has support for Firebase though, but it might not be what you want.

For windows, if required I could wrap libmysql.dll but the problem is most MySql servers do not allow remote connections unless you have a premium package, for local I already have a SQLite plugin (see my sig)

for crosspaltform remote access, as gosukiwi said you better off using HTTP+PHP, if you use types and return JSON from your PHP you can manage large data structures with ease.
