Question about rule_values and MariaDB
 

Hello everyone!

I have a number of questions for which I couldn't find answers in the search.

First about entries in the table rule_values:

• Which time unit is used by 'Zone:AutoShutdownDelay'?
  Default Value is '5000'. Does this mean 5 seconds or 5000 seconds?
• We have some duplicate entries in the table 'rule_values' and the table 'variables'.
  Is there a list which entries from 'variables' are still in use? (I have the newest peq database).
  To be more specific:
  - variables 'loglevel' or rule_values 'QueryServ/EventLog'?
  - variables 'EXPMod/GroupEXPBonus' or rule_values 'Character:GroupExpMultiplier/Character:ExpMultiplier'?

Second questions is about MariaDB/Linux:
Is it correct to say each new client (player on server) means a new connection to my mariadb?
If so, which settings for thread_pools do you recommend for a peak of 50 players? I am talking about this: Thread Pool in MariaDB

Thank you so much for answering my questions!

usually the times are in milliseconds so divide by 1000 to get it in seconds. sometimes it says MS at the end sometimes not.

I would try to make everything consistent between variables and rule values but I don't know about those settings specifically.
