The Yid's lead by Harry's inspired hand have also gone the videogame database route doing a deal for the legendary Premier Manager's database. Peter Moore is still trying to offload Fifa Manager's, but no interested peeps as yet.

SI's Toffee mafia take care of their own. Or at least managed to flog a copy to Moyes.

That is fairly awesome.

Back when I used to play these games 10 years ago I'd often sign unknown players and a few years later they'd show up somewhere. Signed a player on a free and he is now in Barcelona's reserves! I thought the database was made by fans but I guess they know what they're talking about!

I assume this ground breaking deal will be worth approximately 30 quid a year for SI?
Why would you need to sign an official deal when you can just buy the game?

@estoo: reading the si games forums, it Miles said that what WE see in the database isn't actually all of the information they hold in their master database; it's a slightly watered down version with just stats and info used for the game.

I guess this is how they put in player heights and weights a few versions back.... they didn't need to trawl through every player again to find this out, they already knew that information, it was just about putting that into the retail game database and having the match engine use it.

Please let me know how good database configuration management environment such dbMaestro will treat that amount of data?

It is funny though because dbMaestro is not only DB manager, BUT also got the "TeamWork" so it can handle the team data and work ambivalently :-D
