Hi,

Is it possible to use databases (SQL databases) with SL? I.e. for information (say in the form of notecards) to be stored in a database (either internally or externally of SL) and to be accessed, and used within SL?

Alternatively, if this is not possible, is it possible to store notecards in a collection, say an array, or list, and access and sort them this way?

N.B. The database approach would be the more desirable method for my requirements.


Thank you in advance.

The only way to use SQL is to use HTTP requests to an external server, as far as I know. I've not done it myself, but I've seen numerous scripts that interface with an SQL database. There is no way to write to a notecard, but if you have static data you can use notecards to store it and retreive it when needed.
