Which Server to use for own MMORPG

[Sanity]

Does tmw-eathena use a backend SQL server of any description?

Not yet. I'm considering three different courses of action in the long term:

• Postgres:
  Pro: good API
  Con: nontrivial to set up
• SQLite
  Pro: easy to set up
  Con: weaker API
  Con: possible scalability issues
• Write my own, limited, database
  Pro: easy to set up
  Pro: can be optimized for expected use case.
  Con: can't use existing database tools, so I have to write new ones.

MySQL is not being considered for various reasons.

Edit: moved to "off-topic" since you say you're working on a game that's not TMW. We really need a separate forum for such things ...

The postgres is the best choice imo. And their documentation is really really awesome, so should not be hard to setup/optimize. They have an active support channel on freenode, btw.

This may be in the wrong forum, so apologies if it is.

For a self build, is it better to use tmw server or manaserv?

tmwAthena is in C++ now (still very C-like, but C++ is required).
