Pretty much what I expected to hear. Having thought it over, some of the things I wanted to do are easier with 3d than 2d anyway…so I’ll probably not bother with this. Heh.
Security is definitely important. I actually work in the industry, which coincidentally is why I want to avoid web hosts…too many bad experiences with them. However looking into the MySQL plugin more, I’d have to write my own security and sanitization code. Annoying.
No I would never have a client directly querying a database. I really only asked this because I’m currently dealing with a SQL bottleneck at work, and was worried that implementing a middleman could make this bottleneck noticeable at much lower volumes.
Good to know. I don’t anticipate having any more than that on a given map either, so this couldn’t be a concern. Thanks for answering my half-asleep questions! (Seriously need to stop doing things when I’m half unconscious).
