SQL: table from string in row?
« on: January 15, 2019, 12:49:34 AM »


In MySQL, is there a way to retrieve a table of information (like in the "Classes" column) rather than just a string or integer? It gets stored as a string, I just dont know of any gmod functions that can directly convert a string to a table. thanks

That's because MySQL doesn't store data as tables... only has strings or numbers.

You can use the following lua functions to serialize your tables and store/read them from MySQL:
