Question by Eagle One · May 06, 2016 at 08:40 PM · database

Best DBMS for Unity

Hi,

I'm working on a Unity Project. We have to store 3d models, textures and others in a remote db.

We are checking various solution, but we haven't decided yet.

We need a DBMS with Unity APIs, so we won't have to write db-interation code by ourselves.

We already checked:

  • SQLite - Good, but is used only for filesystem db, not remote ones

  • Amazon SimpleDB - Good, no SQL tough.

  • PostgreSQL - Very good, but as far i know it hasn't explicit Unity APIs

Any idea or better solution?

I don't understand why you need a DB with a "Unity API" - especially if it's a remote db. For the data you mentioned, I'd think you'd just be pushing the data into a simple table with a blob field for the actual content storage.

.NET already has very capable generic DB support via ADO.Net. You should be able to find an ADO.net driver for most popular db's - including the one's you've mentioned.

Also, SQLite can absolutely be used as a remote db if that sounds interesting.
