Hey computer nerd pals, it's important for me to know how to use sql properly for my course, but I know if I have no reason to use it in my personal life it'll be complicated for me to learn.
Do you use sql and databases in a personal context? If so how? I'm looking for ideas.
@Arr0w_root I want to use SQL for several projects : a music database of all the music I've got, a database to monitor the animal I see, and I considered using it for a game.
@Arr0w_root I had several kind of objects : regions of the world, tiles of the region, NPCs, and tools and materials. But since I hadn't described exactly how would tools would be (different properties if weapons, magical, ...), I preferred using the python module pickle.
@fluffy *take notes* I haven't learned python (yet?) but I'll keep that at the back of my mind
@fluffy Anyway, thanks for answering!
@Arr0w_root With using pickle, I just write
p = pickle.Pickler(file)
p.dump(obj)
And the object is saved, without having to consider how it is implemented, and loading it just reproduces the original object. This is great for POO !
@fluffy Oh ça c'est l'acronyme français il semblerait xD
Ca m'a l'air assez simple en effet!
@Arr0w_root @fluffy attention, sérialization (module pickle, dans ce cas) ≠ SQL. Ce dernier est bien loin de n’être qu’un support de stockage, c’est un *système de gestion* de base de données, avec des propriétés extrêmement puissantes
@gordon @Arr0w_root Oui c'est vrai, l'usage dépend beaucoup du but du programme.
@fluffy For music I think it's great idea.
Do you mind me asking about how you will use that in your game? I'm also interested in video game developments at least in a professional context
