PawnPlus extensions and helpers for the MySQL plugin
Simply install to your project:
sampctl package install AGraber/pawn-plus-mysqlInclude in your code and begin using the library:
#include <pp-mysql>It is recommended that you set a PawnPlus version explicitely on your pawn.json (preferibly the latest) to avoid always downloading the latest one.
If you don't use sampctl, just download the pp-mysql.inc include and
drop it to your includes/ folder, and then download the PawnPlus plugin and
include from here.
While you're on it and if you don't use PawnPlus yet, you should check it out!
All existing mysql_[t/p]query now have a variant that accepts
PawnPlus strings, ending with _s (for example, mysql_tquery_s).
In addition, a new member arrives into the family of these
natives: mysql_aquery[_s], which returns a task that will be
set as completed when the query completes successfully, or
fault when there's an error during its execution.
Note that mysql_aquery[_s] will piggyback on mysql_tquery by default. You
can override this and use mysql_tquery by setting the parallel parameter at
the end to true, or explicitly change this default value by defining
MYSQL_ASYNC_DEFAULT_PARALLEL to you desired value.
Using PawnPlus strings on natives
public OnPlayerTookAllCandies(playerid)
{
mysql_tquery_s(DatabaseHandle, @("UPDATE player SET took_candies = UNIX_TIMESTAMP() WHERE id = ") % GetPlayerDBID(playerid));
}Task-based asynchronous queries:
LoadPlayerData(playerid)
{
await mysql_aquery_s(DatabaseHandle, @("SELECT * FROM player WHERE id = ") % GetPlayerDBID(playerid), .parallel = false);
// Cache functions will be available after this
cache_get_value_name_float(0, "health", PlayerHealth[playerid]);
// ...
}
