datastore help

[shy spruce]

how would i create a list of all names of entries inside a datastore? maybe a script that prints or something just cant really figure out how to do it

You should search up profilestores instead

Profile store and data store are 2 different things

Data store is bad because it’s not secure cause sometime there’s bugs in the saving

Profilestore is more secure compared to data store because it’s made by some guy, forgot his name

Ludious or something like that

ngl i think using ProfileService only matters wehn your game is getting big

if you want to keep it simple you can also just use some datastore module

and if you really want nothing to happen js do something like this

task.spawn(function()
    while true do
        task.wait(60)
        for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
            --run save function
        end
    end
end)

I recommend profile store as well it's easy well documented and by default session locked

[tawdry island]

any issues with DataStoreService is due to poor coding, profileService utilize DataStoreService just with added protection and good code.

thanks for the reccomendation i will prolly look into it cause roblox's default is so trash

i ended up just manually copying all the ids by hand 😭

and if you know, is it easy to transfer data from roblox datastore to profilestore? or would a full reset be easier

[formal portal]

I don't think you can transfer bro

And if you could it's probably complicated lol never heard of ghatt

[little rock]

ive never had problems with it 😭

[shy spruce]

i havent had corruptions or anything like that, just very annoying to use

[little rock]

its not annoying if you know how to use it

btw profilestores and profileservice is 2 different things just letting you guys know lol, profilestore is newer compared to profileservice

but they all do pretty much the same thing so ig pick when one you want to learn, profilestore is the most secure way of storing stuff rn but profileservice is also secure

[little rock]

ima stick to my datastore module ive never had any problems

[shy spruce]

ok tell me how to retrieve a list of all entries names in my data store without manually doing it myself (1500 keys so far)

you cant.

and im sure there is other limitations i have not yet found bcs i am only about a month and a half into making games lol
