When I was sending player x, y, z coordinates 10 times a second, I could tell that the database was locking because I would see limited movement from test players. I tried both MyISAM and Innodb. MyISAM was basically useless for concurrent connections because the table lock. Innodb was better but st...

I thought about sqlalchemy with sqlite because I'm using python. But also mysql cluster looks nice because my front end uses mysql. I tried normal mysql but it locks an entire table when reading a single row, even with the memory engine. Any suggestions?

If I have a primitive 2d array like the example below, what is the best way to send it to the client? I've tried putIntArray but java doesn't like that.
