Hello, This is my first post in here, i am new, my name is Casper. I want to create a tool in Godot, building visualizations. I need to create a 3D network representation of a building with division into rooms, and i every room information about network, for example: I have one building with 30 computers, every computer connected to specific socket. By clicking on a socket appears info about: computer owner, ip adress, mac adress, socket number, login, e.t.c. This building will be created with 3D. There is way to use some database ? I know i can use .json but there will be a lot of information and management of this will be hard without database.

Thanks for all answers. Cheers

There are a few implementations for various databases out there, though I haven't used any of them with Godot myself so I cannot say from first hand experience what they are like.

Here is a link to a Reddit post that mentions some, and here's a Godot issue that shows some example GDNative (the issue calls it DL script, but it was renamed later) code for SQL.

Hopefully those links help. (Side note: Welcome to the forums!)

Thanks. You think i can do my project without database and don't make a mess ??

You can probably store the data in JSON files, so long as you don't have tens of thousands of lines of data. JSON parsing/serializing is pretty fast and has the added benefit of being easy to share across computers and the internet.

Worse case is you have to change things later down the line to use a database instead. If you break down the majority of the interfacing with JSON (or whatever you use) into separate functions then it shouldn't be too difficult to refactor and use another method if the need arises.
