Ok, lol i really never knew that. Well I Use 50 50 Split right now i use accounts,chars,guilds,items,npcs,mobs, in INI files and in mysql i have MobSpawn, NPCSpawn,Pets, and few other things . At the moment i am on my laptop and i just find it eassier to use ini files this way i dont have to lagg when i open up a webpage. I will evenutaly move on to full MySQL again but atm i am coding my Game Server. My Project is a split server Auth an Game. Any suggestions unknown?

Oracle:Expensive license, probably too verbose for what you need anyway. SQLLite would be good enough for most pservers.
I'd just use MSSQL if you're doing it from C#, since you probably have it already installed, the API is already in place, and far better documented than MySQL's .Net connector. MySQL also likes to have timeouts, increasing with the number of connections you make to it. If you account for that in your code though, it'll be stable enough to run fine. Like I said, choose based on familiarity or ease to learn/use. Code it properly and get rid of the potential injections that are in LOTF.

Hey unknownoone is it possibe to lauch a server from a webserver via php or something?
Cuase my db comes from a web server like this
$mysql_host = "mysql2.coevil.com";
$mysql_database = "coevil";
$mysql_user = "coadmin";
$mysql_password = "******";

I mean insetead of running back and forth or using teamviewer can i execute it via php?

Sure you can, but allowing execution of commands from your web interface is leaving potential for hacking. Just make sure you set permissions properly and code your site safely. There's a number of ways to execute commands from php. exec(), syetem(), shell_exec() to name a few.
There's plenty of other ways you could go about automating the server startup too.
