How to open .csv files?

Needing a database to upload csv files into and then match players names to their points in the csv files.?

  • My program that runs the tournaments saves the players name and their points. Needing to be able to dump the files into a folder then total of their points per name. Add new players from any of the csv files into the database.

  • Answer:

    Saving files in a database is a bad idea. That said, ANY database can store the filename of the csv file. You get that, open the file and get what you want. If this is on a website, use MySQL. If it's a desktop game, create a .mdb database and access it using ADO. (Use Access to create the file if you can't find any other way, but you can do it from within the program too, which is the best way. If the program can't find the file, it creates an empty database.)
