Hello guys,
I've been considering moving from basic DBMan to the SQL version and I have a few questions I'd like to ask from either Alex, or those who've gone before me.
1) How hard is the conversion process? Drop-in? Complete rebuild from scratch? I saw someone added in the SQL patches for the beta links on their own, so I'm just a little curious as to what I'll go through to get it running...
2) Is there a converter available to transfer my original DBMan file to SQL format? It's rather large and I'd hate to lose it just because I want the database to be faster and more accessible.
3) Does the SQL version use standard MySQL functions to manipulate the data?
Thanks for any advice,
