Programming a game, need advice on using a database

Posted 13 February 2012 - 03:28 PM

I'm programming a Pokemon parody game and I'm trying to plan out what data I'll need for players, pokemon, items, etc. I was thinking of using a database but I'm not 100% sure that's whats best. The only database program I currently have is Access 2007/2010.

Should I use a database or just build in everything data wise in as subs and functions?

If yes, what program should I use for the database?

I'd prefer something GUI oriented program wise, I really don't like working with a command line.

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

Yes.. a database would be fine. What's wrong with right clicking on your project -> add new -> data ->local/service database?

Honestly? I didn't know this existed. My teacher didn't cover that in the database programming with vb course
