Why would you use Java to interact between Torque and an SQL database?

Also; RTB3 tracks a few things about players such as total cumulative playtime, total servers joined, total add-ons downloaded/installed. There are more interesting things I could do such as server ratings based on player turnover but this would kind of require more servers/players to have RTB installed, since I can't verify if a non-rtb player has joined a server when the server says he has. These would never be achievements because they're not things you can actively work towards constructively but they're still interesting things I could shove on people's profile pages.
What's the average RTB user's amount of downloaded add-ons?

What's the average RTB user's amount of downloaded add-ons?

It's about 4 given that nobody has RTB3?

It's quicker than PHP, I thought?
I also thought there was no direct connection from Torque to an SQL database?

Am I wrong?

I'd say PHP would be much more effective for interfacing between the two. You've already got Apache there to handle connections to the server, and you've got PHP with the MySQL libraries to run queries - and from there its pretty simple to dump output to a php file. If you're making a Java server you have to write all the connection crap, then the logic, then the database interfacing. Just more work and not necessarily any benefit.

Hey guys, this is possible with events... Its just not client-side.
