Solved files or database?

basically i dont know which is good for my goal its going on a network which has a couple of players like 50 i would say its probably going to get big pretty soon will i need a database soon or my current file system of storing players data? i assume with more players it will get less efficient to fetch data as it has to sift through a lot of files? any good ideas for database structuring and efficiency?

 

MySQL or try using a file for everyplayer.

 

@MaTaMoR_ You literally just told him the options he told you.

 

oh

 

yah


Oh, and @MrHatz2:
I would just use files for this purpose, to be honest.

 

Take a look to faction's github (MPlayer or something like that)

 

@MrHatz2

Use a general purpose interface to save player data.

Then have multiple implementations: MySQL, sqlite, yml, etc.

Then let the server owner/admin decide (via config.yml) how he wants data to be saved. This is how iConomy does it.
