View Full Version : games that uses vb members database


08-25-2000, 11:21 AM
I am planning on making some games and other stuff that will use mysql members datbase, but I will need another table in mysql database. I am just wondering if i should make another database for the information and just have the members name in the database and the other infomation. and use the vbulletin database to login to. or should i put it in the same database as vboard?

You can use the same database just make a new table. Cross reference the user table with your new table and you should have no problems ;)

Though if you have the ability to setup another database it wouldnt hurt.

I am just wondering how hard would it be to upgrade vboard if they change any database infomation

not really hard. It depends on what the newer version changes to the tables. If it just adds or changes a field, your own fields should remain unscathed.

Adding another table might be a good idea (much more over seeable) You can just "join" query's to select data from both tables at once

Hope that helps :)
