I think an AoC section on the site would be great. As far as I know not many people have been talking about AoC's RDB format and how to read from it.
I've started looking into it, but relational databases aren't my area of expertise. Lliane, I'd be interested to see what you have worked out so far. I really wanted to write a library but when you have 24gb of data to sift through it can be a bit overwhelming. *goes back to leveling*...
When I initially looked at the extension rdb and saw some index files in there I initially thought it stood for relational db, but it turns out RDB stands for resource database which gives me a bit of relief. I decided to take a crack at it, I put a few files under svn and I'll be looking at the diffs to see if I can figure out how this format works.
I'll be making some blog posts soon to report my findings.
