NBDE is a wrapper for the bioware database system, eliminating most of its restrictions. It significantly boosts both reading and writing speed. It will make your db scripts more secure and always keeps your database files in the best possible shape, as slim as possible.
And this all gets achieved with the use of one simple script. I recommend any scripter to check this out if he plans to use biowares onboard database functionality. Full documentation included, easy to use...
Write speed improvements up to factor 500
Read speed improvements up to factor 8 (Nearly the same speed as GetLocal functions now)
Database size improvement up to factor 3-4
sVarName parameter for all SetCampaign functions is no longer limited to 32 chars

Found what i believe is a bug. Inconsistency in how the oPlayer object is defined. Some functions use OBJECT_INVALID as default. Yet two use OBJECT_SELF. All should be OBJECT_INVALID in my opinion.
I'm not sure why this inconsistency was included in the code, but it created a great deal of difficulty recently when I needed to track the location of an NPC across server resets. It would also be a problem for me if I used a system of persistent placeable locations (customizable furniture placement in a player's room for example). Anyway, if you are still around KNAT let me know what the thinking was. _________________________ Vault Submissions | Arnheim | Beyond Vives

@ Doomie - did you flush the database? I highly recommend reading all of the comments in nbde_inc _________________________ Vault Submissions | Arnheim | Beyond Vives

Fantastic. For fixing a number of bugs I've encountered with the BW database, I give these scripts top marks. This is a critical piece of functionality for those of us not using NWNX. _________________________ Vault Submissions | Arnheim | Beyond Vives
If I do
SetCampaignString ("SAVE", "SAVED", "SAVED", oPC);
then it works and creates it in the database.
If I do
NBDE_SetCampaignString ("SAVE", "SAVED", "SAVED", oPC);
Nothing happens.
I have installed it as normal and its included in the script.
Can anyone help?

One of the greatest scripts ever submitted! It is indispensable for even worlds using NWNX heavily due to its simplicity, reliability and speed.

i work the last day on planning a database system for a project and i find this :) it is brilliant, in fact, it is the most efficient way to use databases in any applications or games no arguing about it
brilliant, thank you, i will use your code to build my project :)

Will this still work in NWN2? I know that there isn't even any database support in the game yet (1.03 comes soon), but as far as I know, database system hasn't been radically changed.

Indeed. And the wrong place to ask it.
But FYI it is for storing information to maintain persistency between sessions.
