[SOLVED] Is there a different way to create variables that don't terminate after the program ends?

Issue

Right now, I am creating files to make unterminating variables. But I'm curious if there's a simpler way to create variables that don't terminate.

Solution

I think this is a good time to be using an SQL Database. It's more scalable and functional than having a fileful of "persistent variables".

It may require a little more setup, and I admit it isn't "simpler" per say, but it will probably be worth it in the long run. You will be able to do things with your variables and that may make your future scripts simpler.

I recommend going to YouTube and find a simple instruction on how to set up a local MySQL or MSSQL. There is a guy, Mike Dane, who makes really beginner-friendly instructions. Try searching "GiraffeAcademy SQL Beginner" and see if that helps you.
