You need to have source code access for that, but there are resources made for TGE/TGEA/T3D that will work with TGB/T2D to allow it to connect to ODBC or other data sources.

Alternatively, you can use HTTPObjects to send and receive data from PHP pages on a web server which is connected to a database. No source code needed for that.

I've always gone the php route.

It is clean and simple as long asy ou don't need massive amounts of data...

it also makes it so you can get your data from anywhere just by logging in to an account

@Chris: PHP route is more secure too.

@Selin: No source code access is needed to establish connections to a PHP database (MySQL), only knowledge of the HTTP POST method, and a TCPObject/HTTPObject.

@Selin: Do a Google search for "site:www.garagegames.com tcpobject". That should yield a good amount of information for you.
