Obviously there's a barrier when it comes to both windows and linux gameservers - I currently have sourcemod running and am in search of figuring out how to get sourcemods to connect to a linux box database while the gameserver itself is located on a windows box.
Thus far I've figured out ODBC which allows my windows box to communicate with linux MySQL. I have successfully connected the database. My problem lies with the sql manager plugin - It doesn't recognize ODBC in any way and is unable to connect to my database. Is there a possible way to alter the sql manager to utilize ODBC?
Opend Database Connector = ODBC

this would certainly help unify both linux/windows gameservers to one database. Which would be extremely helpful - thanks
