We would like for every admin running the game to answer the poll above. If you aren't running a server just select the "I don't run a server." item.

MySql Default
MySql Innodb
Microsoft Sql
Microsoft Sql ODBC
Microsoft Sql ADO

If you haven't replied to this poll you really need to if you are a server admin. We are seriously considering dropping all support for Microsoft SQL because we have to jump through some extra hoops to do some of the things MySql does. So unless we get some feedback on this we will probably drop Microsoft SQL support on the next version of the game.

Well, it looks like we are going to drop all support for all database systems except for MySql. MySql is the most used database system out there. One of the reasons we are focusing on a single database system it to maintain consistancy. There are little and big differences between the different database systems that require different database queries for them to work properly. This is a HUGE amount of overhead and work.

Since MySql is free and just about every site has it installed compared to other database systems we have decided to focus strictly on MySql. This will allow us to write optimized database queries that will allow the game to run faster, smoother and with less server load.
