MySQL

[Slice]

Matthias, you should check out this topic I made about benchmarking: http://forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=218491
Also, MySQL can be even faster than your results as you didn't thread your queries. If you thread the queries then it should take only a few nanoseconds for PAWN to run a query.

use y_ini its easy and the fastest way to write & save

man.. you're just stupid.

Y_ini would be about as fast as dini, which isn't fast at all.

dini is way slower than y_ini. Loading 400000 values took y_ini 1564 ms, but just above a minute for dini.

f you save an account with several fields, maybe 10, the server would lag for like 0,2 seconds.

With y_ini, my guess is it wouldn't take more than 1-3 ms.

To sum this up (very briefly):
MySQL:

• Is significantly faster.
  
• Can be read from and written to simultaneously by multiple applications.
  
• Can perform things such as sorting, filtering, grouping to your data.
  
• Can be located externally.
  

y_ini:

• Is simple and fast enough for small servers.
  
• Allows for easy modifications to the data by simply editing text files.
