Several Problems while creating a DDNet based server

Hello,
I have a problem with sql_score for use from points in ddnet.
I don't know anything about sql and how to make a sql file.
please help me to enable sql in my DDNet server.

You need MySQL, first learn how that works.
Then you can use mysql database < sql_score to load the scores into your DB.

Building instructions here: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet#building
SQL settings here (search for sql): http://ddnet.tw/settingscommands/

So what you mean is that DDNet does not need import a .sql file to a mysql database?

[deen]

right, DDNet SQL server can create its own database and table. I assumed you want to import the official DDNet database.

Is there any reason for not including MySQL server in the binary releases?

Most don't need it and it's ~30 MB that you would have to download with every update. If you can't compile the SQL server, you'll have even bigger trouble using it.
