Blockland External Database System - Yes or No?
Blockland External Database System is a system that would allow people to register privately modded servers, and instead of storing data on the system where data might be limited or maybe he/she just doesn't want to keep the files locally, you would use my library(?) to connect to an external server that would keep all the data in a MySQL database that would be hosted by me on a VPS.
Though right now this is a work in progress as I am still currently writing the database/server, but I thought I should ask you guys what you would like to see. Do you guys even want a external database system? Do you want a TorqueScript library to come with it? Because I don't have unlimited database space, every server will have a limit. Should I allow servers to purchase more database space?
Management wise I'll probably have it work a bit like PubNub works. Each project gets a key, and a read/write and a read key. So you submit a table structure (2 tables max at start), and I will put it into the database and when I give you the go you can insert/delete/update/get columns (this will become automated if this gets anywhere) with the r/w key, and with the r key you can only select. Eventually this will all be done via a GUI.
So guys, would you use this? What do you think? Any tips?
