4.1 Database choices

The GGZ server is able to store its data in various database formats. Currently, not only the traditional libdb format is supported (db2, db3 and db4), but also MySQL and PostgreSQL. The latter ones are more difficult to set up, but provide greater flexibility because there exist a lot of standard tools to use the data in them.

There are three database table sets: one for the players (including passwords, email addresses, permissions and full name), one for the statistics generated by games played on the server and player and team information, and one for tournaments.
