Hi,

We are currently developing a mmog and are in the process of developing the database extension, we are considering using actionscript extensions together with a jdbc-odbc database, i know its possible to create the extension using java and mysql but im wondering what benefits this would provide over the actionscript? are their any major limitations to using actionscript instead of java in this instance? any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Using java extension is faster than using action script extension.
You can use java objects from your your AS extension - there is very good tutorial about this in the docs.

Also I want to be excused about this but: Java is the best language. I recommend to everyone to use java :) .

Also using jdbc-odbc bridge is slower than using only jdbc.
