pawn-plus-mysql
PawnPlus extensions and helpers for the MySQL plugin
Installation
Simply install to your project:
sampctl package install AGraber/pawn-plus-mysql
Include 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!
Usage
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.
Examples
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);
? ?// ...
}
