Due to a delay in the availability of AW 3.6 SDK build 38, this
version is compiled with AW 3.5 SDK build 37.

It is interesting for scripters, as it includes connectivity to some
SQL databases, especially to mySQL.

MySQL support should make things interesting, XelaG. Thanks for adding
it! Now if the AW world server could do the same, I'd be really happy. ;)

What types of things are now possible with the SQL support?

SQL is a language supported by various database engines. I can not
give a course on SQL, there are many books about it, and I know too
little myself. An open source SQL database engine is MySQL. What
xelagot does is connect to this sort of database, retrieve or change
information.

Up to now, xelagots would have to load a full database file in xelagot
format. Using an external database means, for example, that xelagot
only needs to have one (or more) database record(s) in memory. The
database need not even be on the same machine as the bot (although in
that case a fast connection is required so as not to freeze the bot).

Xelagot still uses, internally, the xelagot database format, based on
name=value strings. That has not changed, so not all database tables
are suitable for it. But for people who know how to use SQL
databases, I think it is a great step forward.

There is a chance your dream might come true :)

Alex,

While I can't claim to readily use your bots, or even know the first
thing about scripting for them... I have to agree that this is a huge
step forward. Having the power of MySQL (or any SQL database) as a
backend open myrid doors for new applications.

I almost want to congratulate you on your accomplishment, but I don't
think those are the words I'm looking for. I guess I just want to say
thanks for continuing to further the development of bots for AW. Your
work definitly sets the (high) standard for everyone else out there.
Your dedication and time spent working on the project, when AW seems to
be all but ready for the final nail in its coffin, also says a lot.

On the MySQL enabled server... I've heard stuff about this too from 999
(Will), however, I have no idea when (or even *if*) they'll release this
new feature. Personally, I think we need to fix the linux problems
before we go crazy with MySQL. Hopefully this total rewrite (if that's
what it is) will fix the problems.

Regards,
Jeremy

Thanks Alex,

It seems to work great with MySQL 4.0.18 :)
As others have stated, I also think that this is a great leap forward to
interactivity and compatibility, as well within the environment of Active
Worlds as to other (web)applications.
Thank you once more for your devotion and work to enhance your already great
bots and dedication to the community.

Rob

The Delphi source code to load xgDLLSQL.dll (the dll that does the SQL
connection for xelagot) is available at:

http://www.imatowns.com/xelagot/xgsqlloader.zip

The loader should work with Delphi 4 upwards, I tested it with Delphi
5. If someone is interested to port it to C/C++ or VB, please let me
know: xelag at 3dee.nl

I look forward to writing a script that uses the database via MySQL... if
someone beats me to it could you perhaps share it wtih Alex to add to his
example files on his web site?

I've modified an already existing script to use MySQL fuctionality from
which I can provide some examples.
If you're interrested, you can write to Xelag and ask him kindly for my e-
mail address.

Greetings,

Rob
