1. Problem with database
I'm having a problem in my game with the database. I'm creating a MUD game
(or trying to anyways) and am saving my items in a database. Each item has
its own table. When I try to delete the table to show the item isn't there,
the table comes back after I move to another location. I've set up an error
code to come up if the table isn't deleted(see code below), but nothing
comes up, so supposedly the table hasn't been deleted.
if find(item[1][2], table_list) then -- name of item, also name of table
db_delete_table(item[1][2])
else
puts(1,"Table doesn't exist!") -- this never comes up, so the table
end if -- should have been deleted.

Sorry, forgot to tell you the name of the file. It's Groundwork for a TBAG
or something like that, in the Recent Users Contributions

I assume that 'table_list' is a sequence of items (tables) that you have
built somewhere else. If so, then after you delete the table, you should
also remove the table name form the 'table_list' sequence. However, an
alternate way of doing this is ...
if find(item[1][2], db_table_list() ) then -- name of item, also name of table
db_delete_table(item[1][2])
else
puts(1,"Table doesn't exist!") -- this never comes up, so the table
end if -- should have been deleted.
