Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General [Osiris] DB as variable and questions ?

Is it leggit to consider DB as some sort of variable holder ?
If so, why not use plain variables, instead of declaring them in DB ?

They share some similarities but are more powerful and expansive. DB entries can be indexed by multiple keys to create arrays DB_Foo(x, y, z, ...), and most notably DB entry modifications cause events to fire, so you can catch on them.

If you haven't checked it out, the Osiris Overview has some good information and Larian made two tutorial videos for scripting databases that are helpful:
Scripting Databases(1)
Scripting Databases(2)

It's the nature of this language.
There are no operators except comparison operators =, < and >.

Since there are no operators, the databases are the only way to assign and store values.

You get used to it after a while.
