I have release the sourcecode for my SQLite Database wrapper. You may have read about it already here: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=12345
The main features are:
1 - easy database access completely integrated with Irrlicht
2 - filling a bunch of variables with values from a database record in one c++ statement. And the other way around: setting values in a record in one statement
3 - database archives
4 - AES encryption
3. Database archives can be compared with zip archives. Anything that has an IReadfile interface can be loaded from a database archive. But with the added bonus of encryption.
Personally I find that reading values from a database is far easier than reading from xml files. Let alone writing xml. To make the transition to databases easier: it is easy to read xml files from a database archive.
4. AES encryption: By default 256bit key CBC mode encryption. By itself this very secure! The trick lies in hiding the key within your application.
The encryption method I have chosen is 100% memory based. This puts a size limit on the database. You can always use (unencrypted) disk based databases and archives. SQLite can handle up to 2 terabytes !!
To Do List
Thing I would like to implement (if there is demand for it)
- change printf's to os::Printer::log
- change passing parameters by address (&) to pointers
- build maintenance (open/close) of databases handling into the wrapper class, i.e. keep an array of databases. These are now seperate commands
