What's the best way to organize a datastore?

Asked by 5 years ago
Edited 5 years ago
pages = AdHistoryKeys:GetSortedAsync(false, 100)
pagesTable = {}
pcall(function()
    while wait() do
        local currentTable = {}
        print("1: "..#pages:GetCurrentPage())
        for _,v in pairs(pages:GetCurrentPage()) do
                local value = AdHistory:GetAsync(v.key) -- problem here
            table.insert(currentTable,#currentTable+1,value)
        end
        table.insert(pagesTable, currentTable)
        pages:AdvanceToNextPageAsync()
    end
end)
for _,page in pairs(pagesTable) do
    print(#page)
    for _,v in pairs(page) do
        print("2: "..v) -- prints only one value from the current page
    end
end

First: AdHistoryKeys is a OrderedDataStore with a key for AdHistory (a regular DataStore), and the value being a timestamp, so I can sort by the last created.

my problem lies in AdHistory:GetAsync(v.key) I found that if I replace that with a normal table, it will work fine. I've figured out that it's because of datastore limits. How I was planning on fixing this was just having a single key with a dictionary for the value, but I'm not sure if that's the best way. My only fear would be it could easily corrupt all data inside the table.

That's not what I'm trying to do, I have to store the keys of a regular dataStore inside of an orderedDataStore. The problem is that I can't get all the values of the dataStore as it limits the amount of GetAsync calls you can make. Internal_1 344 — 5y

I have decided to store all data inside a single key in the regular datastore, and have the value be a giant dictionary. I will then store all the indexes to the dictionary inside of the orderdatastore, being sorted by a timestamp. I will edit this when I am done.
