[Mudlet] Database won't initialise

KlendathuKlendathu Eye of the Storm
I'm trying to create a database in Mudlet so I can store settings from one session to the next, but I'm getting the following error:

Lua syntax error:../mudlet-lua/lua/DB.lua:445: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)

The code has been adapted from the ndb.init code.

ak = ak or {}
ak.schema = {
oppclass = {
rank = 0,
aff = "",
probability = 100,
_unique = {"rank"},
_violations = "REPLACE",
},
_unique = {"oppclass"},
_violations = "REPLACE",
}


function ak.init()
ak.db = db:create("akat", ak.schema)
db.__conn["akat"]:execute("pragma synchronous = OFF")
end


ak.init() --create the database

The line that's erroring is:

ak.db = db:create("akat", ak.schema)

Any help would be appreciated as this is a whole new area for me.

    Try removing the last two lines? Not sure what they could mean but if they are legal I guess it's saying the entire DB can hold one unique opclass. Also if you ask for unique, maybe you should define an index. Caveats: I've never used this. Edit: last two lines in the schema def, the outermost unique and violations lines.

    Those two lines are meant to ensure that there's only ever one entry with a particular oppclass, and if a new one is created with an existing oppclass, the existing oppclass is overwritten with the new one.

    Entries of what? They are at the outermost level so they apply to the schema proper right now, I think. The uniqueness constraint should be in the schema definition for the sheet you want to insure had unique opclass fields. Edit: each sub-dictionary is the schema definition for what mudlet seems to call a sheet (a table anywhere else), which describe the format for sets of things. Those are what can have entries of things. The entire schema itself is just a list of these table schemes. I am pretty sure if you delete those lines the code will at least run, even if it might not do what you want.

    Edited out the two lines as suggested, db initialised, thanks!

    Database stuff is massively improved in 3.0. A bunch of functions were broken that are now fixed starting from the first preview.
