Sharing databases

[Clean]

I'm not sure about site (PS specifically) rules or their T&C would allow this...

Is it possible? I read somewhere that you can put make your database accessible online, ie play on your laptop using the db from your desktop.
Is this in any way possible to share between different players?
Also, if possible, is there a way to make it secure so that only you and a friend could access it?

I have a few friends that I wouldn't mind making a joint database with, or just having access to each other's db's...

Thanks in advance.

I'll have to talk to Derek about this, but I don't think this is something we want discussed here. These kind of things are frowned upon by the poker sites.

yeah, it is doable (postgres is a network database ldo) but IIRC pretty wrong. Certainly not allowed on Stars, FTP where you can datamine as much as you like I'm no so sure - but then with unlimited datamining - there would be no need to share databases, eh? so yeah, not a good idea.

Well it sounds like this is right alongside datamining in terms of legality on stars, so maybe not such a good idea then.

Thanks for the input.

I just started up a website ([removed]) to facilitate the sharing of databases. There is more info there, and it's free (so not really spamming, I hope anyway).

Cheers
