ExecuteSQLSelect

This function retrieves one or more rows from the registry. Since the registry is powered by a SQLite database, this function automatically executes a SELECT query and returns the result as an object that can only be read by the GetRegistryRow function.
The registry is stored globally and can be read from and written to by all scripts in sessions. This is useful if you want to store data for your script.
The actual SQL query that is executed will be the following:
SELECT <fields> FROM <tables> WHERE <conditions> LIMIT <limit>
Syntax
int getRegistryValue ( object r, string tables, string fields, [ string conditions ], [ int limit ] )
Required Arguments
- r: The result-object where the results are stored in.
- tables: The tables you want to query. No spaces allowed. Multiple tables should be separated by a comma (,).
- fields: The fields you want to query. No spaced allowed. Wildcard (*) allowed to query all fields in the table. Multiple fields should be separated by a comma (,).
Optional Arguments
- conditions: The conditions for the query. Multiple conditions should be separated by logical operators (AND, OR).
- limit: Maximum amount of rows to return.
Returns
Returns the amount of retrieved rows.
Example
This example keeps track of the largest number of players playing at once on the server and announces each time the record has been broken.
-- Trigger our function every time a player joins
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), "maxPlayerCounter" )
function maxPlayerCounter ( )
getRegistryValue ( res, "myscript_stats", "mostplayers", "", 1 ) -- get the mostPlayers result from our global stats row
mostPlayers = getRegistryRowValue ( res, 0 ) -- get the actual mostPlayers value from the result-object
playerCount = getPlayerCount() -- get the number of players now
if ( mostPlayers == false or playerCount > mostPlayers ) -- see if there was a previous record and if there was, see if we've broken it
outputChatBox ( "New player count record: " .. playerCount .. " players!" ) -- display a message in the chat box
setRegistryValue ( "myscript_stats", "mostplayers = " .. playerCount ) -- store our new record
end
end
