The Story of KLogs: What happens when an Mechanical Engineer codes

Since i no longer work at Wearhouse Automation Startup (WAS for short) and havnt for many years i feel as though i should recount the tale of the most bonkers program i ever wrote, but we need to establish some background

WAS has its HQ very far away from the big customer site and i worked as a Field Service Engineer (FSE) on site. so i learned early on that if a problem needed to be solved fast, WE had to do it. we never got many updates on what was coming down the pipeline for us or what issues were being worked on. this made us very independent

As such, we got good at reading the robot logs ourselves. it took too much time to send the logs off to HQ for analysis and get back what the problem was. we can read. now GETTING the logs is another thing.

the early robots we cut our teeth on used 2.4 gHz wifi to communicate with FSE's so dumping the logs was as simple as pushing a button in a little application and it would spit out a txt file

later on our robots were upgraded to use a 2.4 mHz xbee radio to communicate with us. which was FUCKING SLOW. and log dumping became a much more tedious process. you had to connect, go to logging mode, and then the robot would vomit all the logs in the past 2 min OR the entirety of its memory bank (only 2 options) into a terminal window. you would then save the terminal window and open it in a text editor to read them. it could take up to 5 min to dump the entire log file and if you didnt dump fast enough, the ACK messages from the control server would fill up the logs and erase the error as the memory overwrote itself.

this missing logs problem was a Big Deal for software who now weren't getting every log from every error so a NEW method of saving logs was devised: the robot would just vomit the log data in real time over a DIFFERENT radio and we would save it to a KQL server. Thanks Daddy Microsoft.

now whats KQL you may be asking. why, its Microsofts very own SQL clone! its Kusto Query Language. never mind that the system uses a SQL database for daily operations. lets use this proprietary Microsoft thing because they are paying us

so yay, problem solved. we now never miss the logs. so how do we read them if they are split up line by line in a database? why with a query of course!

select * from tbLogs where RobotUID = [64CharLongString] and timestamp > [UnixTimeCode]

if this makes no sense to you, CONGRATULATIONS! you found the problem with this setup. Most FSE's were BAD at SQL which meant they didnt read logs anymore. If you do understand what the query is, CONGRATULATIONS! you see why this is Very Stupid.

You could not search by robot name. each robot had some arbitrarily assigned 64 character long string as an identifier and the timestamps were not set to local time. so you had run a lookup query to find the right name and do some time zone math to figure out what part of the logs to read. oh yeah and you had to download KQL to view them. so now we had both SQL and KQL on our computers

NOBODY in the field like this.

But Daddy Microsoft comes to the rescue

see we didnt JUST get KQL with part of that deal. we got the entire Microsoft cloud suite. and some people (like me) had been automating emails and stuff with Power Automate

This is Microsoft Power Automate. its Microsoft's version of Scratch but it has hooks into everything Microsoft. SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Excel, it can integrate with all of it. i had been using it to send an email once a day with a list of all the robots in maintenance.

this gave me an idea

and i checked

and Power Automate had hooks for KQL

KLogs is actually short for Kusto Logs

I did not know how to program in Power Automate but damn it anything is better then writing KQL queries. so i got to work. and about 2 months later i had a BEHEMOTH of a Power Automate program. it lagged the webpage and many times when i tried to edit something my changes wouldn't take and i would have to click in very specific ways to ensure none of my variables were getting nuked. i dont think this was the intended purpose of Power Automate but this is what it did

the KLogger would watch a list of Teams chats and when someone typed "klogs" or pasted a copy of an ERROR mesage, it would spring into action.

it extracted the robot name from the message and timestamp from teams

it would lookup the name in the database to find the 64 long string UID and the location that robot was assigned too

it would reply to the message in teams saying it found a robot name and was getting logs

it would run a KQL query for the database and get the control system logs then export then into a CSV

it would save the CSV with the a .xls extension into a folder in ShairPoint (it would make a new folder for each day and location if it didnt have one already)

it would send ANOTHER message in teams with a LINK to the file in SharePoint

it would then enter a loop and scour the robot logs looking for the keyword ESTOP to find the error. (it did this because Kusto was SLOWER then the xbee radio and had up to a 10 min delay on syncing)

if it found the error, it would adjust its start and end timestamps to capture it and export the robot logs book-ended from the event by ~ 1 min. if it didnt, it would use the timestamp from when it was triggered +/- 5 min

it saved THOSE logs to SharePoint the same way as before

it would send ANOTHER message in teams with a link to the files

it would then check if the error was 1 of 3 very specific type of error with the camera. if it was it extracted the base64 jpg image saved in KQL as a byte array, do the math to convert it, and save that as a jpg in SharePoint (and link it of course)

and then it would terminate. and if it encountered an error anywhere in all of this, i had logic where it would spit back an error message in Teams as plaintext explaining what step failed and the program would close gracefully

I deployed it without asking anyone at one of the sites that was struggling. i just pointed it at their chat and turned it on. it had a bit of a rocky start (spammed chat) but man did the FSE's LOVE IT.

about 6 months later software deployed their answer to reading the logs: a webpage that acted as a nice GUI to the KQL database. much better then an CSV file

it still needed you to scroll though a big drop-down of robot names and enter a timestamp, but i noticed something. all that did was just change part of the URL and refresh the webpage

SO I MADE KLOGS 2 AND HAD IT GENERATE THE URL FOR YOU AND REPLY TO YOUR MESSAGE WITH IT. (it also still did the control server and jpg stuff). Theres a non-zero chance that klogs was still in use long after i left that job

now i dont recommend anyone use power automate like this. its clunky and weird. i had to make a variable called "Carrage Return" which was a blank text box that i pressed enter one time in because it was incapable of understanding /n or generating a new line in any capacity OTHER then this (thanks support forum).

im also sure this probably is giving the actual programmer people anxiety. imagine working at a company and then some rando you've never seen but only heard about as "the FSE whos really good at root causing stuff", in a department that does not do any coding, managed to, in their spare time, build and release and entire workflow piggybacking on your work without any oversight, code review, or permission.....and everyone liked it

[error4343]

Ok I've had a very random train of thoughts and now wanna compile it into post.

Some MM characters computer-related (???) headcanons lol

Riley:

Has above average knowledge of Excel/Google sheets due to studying finance, but after four years with no practise forgot most of it.

The "Sooon, I have a problem" person in their family. Actually, surprisingly good and patient at explaining computer stuff to older people.

Has a higher responsibility of doing taxes (finance, after all). Even he never fails to do them right, Ed always double checks. Sometimes they get into argument, where inevitably Riley proves he is right but his father would never admit it.

Warren, Leeza, Ooker and other teens:

Also nothing outstanding in terms of skills, except few of them have interest in IT.

They have bunch of small local Discord servers and one big main server with some very stupid name.

Few times Bev tried to bring up importance of parental control over this "new and rapidly growing young community", but thanks God no one took her concerns seriously

Leeza moderates it and her moder role called "Mayor-mini". Like father like daughter.

All teens local jokes and memes were bourn/spread though that server.

Bev:

Rumors says she sacrificed her humanity to obtain such powers with Microsoft software package.

Can build up Access database from scratch, using basic SQL commands, assemble primitive, but surprisingly sufficient interface to it and synchronize it with Excel in span of one day or less.

In her laptop there're every pupil's personal file, countless Excel tables, several automatised document accounts, Google calendar with precisely planned schedule for next several months (for school, church, island and personal matters) and probably Pentagon files.

Probably can find all Pi numbers with Excel formulas.

Never lets anyone to her laptop.

Spends her free time at different forums, mostly gardening-related.

Wade:

Made a very fucking poor decision to let Bev do all the legwork with digital document accounting.

Now has no idea how some of things even work, so just goes with a flow and does what Bev tells.

No wander she got away with embezzlement.

Knows about kid's server. Very proud of Leeza for managing it :)

Because of that, he knows one or two memes from there, but keeps them in secret.

Has hobby of fixing office equipment. Does it with Sturge in spare time due to Dupuytren's contracture not letting him operate his hand fully.

Sarah:

There's no good medical technicians on island, so when something goes wrong with equipment electronics - tries to fix it herself to best of her ability.

Always monitors electronic e-shops for spare details or equipment. Grows more and more addicted to it.

Frequently updates her selection of sites with useful medical information, because Erin asked her for help guiding teens though puberty. For that receives glances from Bev, but doesn't give a shit.

Has reputation of cool aunt among kids, so she was one and only adult invited to main Discord server. Didn't accept it (doesn't even have Discord acc), but still grateful for trust.

Plays solitaire a lot.

John:

Back when he was playing Paul, Bev asked him to do something with Excel. In conclusion, poor bastard had to learn basic computer skills and Excel in span of several days. Now he is traumatized for rest of his life.

Will do all the work manually just to not touch laptop again.

Upsets very easly when does something wrong.

Doesn't own laptop. Don't give that man laptop, he will cry.

By his own will uses it only to watch baseball. Always asks someone to help with that.

⏱Hangfire + Serilog: How EasyLaunchpad Handles Jobs and Logs Like a Pro

Modern SaaS applications don’t run on user actions alone.

From sending emails and processing payments to updating user subscriptions and cleaning expired data, apps need background tasks to stay efficient and responsive.

That’s why EasyLaunchpad includes Hangfire for background job scheduling and Serilog for detailed, structured logging — out of the box.

If you’ve ever wondered how to queue, manage, and monitor background jobs in a .NET Core application — without reinventing the wheel — this post is for you.

💡 Why Background Jobs Matter

Imagine your app doing the following:

Sending a password reset email

Running a weekly newsletter job

Cleaning abandoned user sessions

Retrying a failed webhook

Syncing data between systems

If these were handled in real-time within your controller actions, it would:

Slow down your app

Create a poor user experience

Lead to lost or failed transactions under load

Background jobs solve this by offloading non-critical tasks to a queue for asynchronous processing.

🔧 Hangfire: Background Job Management for .NET Core

Hangfire is the gold standard for .NET Core background task processing. It supports:

Fire-and-forget jobs

Delayed jobs

Recurring jobs (via cron)

Retry logic

Job monitoring via a dashboard

Best of all, it doesn’t require a third-party message broker like RabbitMQ. It stores jobs in your existing database using SQL Server or any other supported backend.

✅ How Hangfire Is Integrated in EasyLaunchpad

When you start with EasyLaunchpad:

Hangfire is already installed via NuGet

It’s preconfigured in Startup.cs and appsettings.json

The dashboard is live and secured under /admin/jobs

Common jobs (like email dispatch) are already using the queue

You don’t have to wire it up manually — it’s plug-and-play.

Example: Email Queue

Let’s say you want to send a transactional email after a user registers. Here’s how it’s done in EasyLaunchpad:

_backgroundJobClient.Enqueue(() =>

_emailService.SendWelcomeEmailAsync(user.Id));

This line of code:

Queues the email job

Executes it in the background

Automatically retries if it fails

Logs the event via Serilog

🛠 Supported Job Types

Type and Description:

Fire-and-forget- Runs once, immediately

Delayed- Runs once after a set time (e.g., 10 minutes later)

Recurring- Scheduled jobs using CRON expressions

Continuations- Run only after a parent job finishes successfully

EasyLaunchpad uses all four types in various modules (like payment verification, trial expiration notices, and error logging).

🖥 Job Dashboard for Monitoring

Hangfire includes a web dashboard where you can:

See pending, succeeded, and failed jobs

Retry or delete failed jobs

Monitor job execution time

View exception messages

In EasyLaunchpad, this is securely embedded in your admin panel. Only authorized users with admin access can view and manage jobs.

🔄 Sample Use Case: Weekly Cleanup Job

Need to delete inactive users weekly?

In EasyLaunchpad, just schedule a recurring job:

_recurringJobManager.AddOrUpdate(

“InactiveUserCleanup”,

() => _userService.CleanupInactiveUsersAsync(),

Cron.Weekly

);

Set it and forget it.

🧠 Why This Is a Big Deal for Devs

Most boilerplates don’t include job scheduling at all.

In EasyLaunchpad, Hangfire is not just included — it’s used throughout the platform, meaning:

You can follow working examples

Extend with custom jobs in minutes

Monitor, retry, and log with confidence

You save days of setup time, and more importantly, you avoid production blind spots.

📋 Logging: Meet Serilog

Of course, background jobs are only useful if you know what they’re doing.

That’s where Serilog comes in.

In EasyLaunchpad, every job execution is logged with:

Timestamps

Job names

Input parameters

Exceptions (if any)

Success/failure status

This structured logging ensures you have a full audit trail of what happened — and why.

Sample Log Output

{

“Timestamp”: “2024–07–20T14:22:10Z”,

“Level”: “Information”,

“Message”: “Queued email job: PasswordReset for userId abc123”,

“JobType”: “Background”,

“Status”: “Success”

}

You can send logs to:

Console (for dev)

File (for basic prod usage)

External log aggregators like Seq, Elasticsearch, or Datadog

All of this is built into EasyLaunchpad’s logging layer.

🧩 How Hangfire and Serilog Work Together

Here’s a quick visual breakdown:

Job Triggered → Queued via Hangfire

Job Executed → Email sent, cleanup run, webhook processed

Job Outcome Logged → Success or error captured by Serilog

Job Visible in Dashboard → Retry if needed

Notifications Sent (optional) → Alert team or log activity via admin panel

This tight integration ensures your background logic is reliable, observable, and actionable.

💼 Real-World Use Cases You Can Build Right Now

-Feature and the Background Job

Welcome Emails- Fire-and-forget

Trial Expiration- Delayed

Subscription Cleanup- Recurring

Payment Webhook Retry- Continuation

Email Digest- Cron-based job

System Backups- Nightly scheduled

Every one of these is ready to be implemented using the foundation in EasyLaunchpad.

✅ Why Developers Love It

-Feature and the Benefit

Hangfire Integration- Ready-to-use queue system

Preconfigured Retry- Avoid lost messages

Admin Dashboard- See and manage jobs visually

Structured Logs- Full traceability

Plug-and-Play Jobs- Add your own in minutes

🚀 Final Thoughts

Robust SaaS apps aren’t just about UI and APIs — they’re also about what happens behind the scenes.

With Hangfire + Serilog built into EasyLaunchpad, you get:

A full background job system

Reliable queuing with retry logic

Detailed, structured logs

A clean, visual dashboard

Zero config — 100% production-ready

Structured Query Language (SQL): A Comprehensive Guide

 Structured Query Language, popularly called SQL (reported "ess-que-ell" or sometimes "sequel"), is the same old language used for managing and manipulating relational databases. Developed in the early 1970s by using IBM researchers Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce, SQL has when you consider that end up the dominant language for database structures round the world.

Structured query language commands with examples

Today, certainly every important relational database control system (RDBMS)—such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and SQLite—uses SQL as its core question language.

What is SQL?

SQL is a website-specific language used to:

Retrieve facts from a database.

Insert, replace, and delete statistics.

Create and modify database structures (tables, indexes, perspectives).

Manage get entry to permissions and security.

Perform data analytics and reporting.

In easy phrases, SQL permits customers to speak with databases to shop and retrieve structured information.

Key Characteristics of SQL

Declarative Language: SQL focuses on what to do, now not the way to do it. For instance, whilst you write SELECT * FROM users, you don’t need to inform SQL the way to fetch the facts—it figures that out.

Standardized: SQL has been standardized through agencies like ANSI and ISO, with maximum database structures enforcing the core language and including their very own extensions.

Relational Model-Based: SQL is designed to work with tables (also called members of the family) in which records is organized in rows and columns.

Core Components of SQL

SQL may be damaged down into numerous predominant categories of instructions, each with unique functions.

1. Data Definition Language (DDL)

DDL commands are used to outline or modify the shape of database gadgets like tables, schemas, indexes, and so forth.

Common DDL commands:

CREATE: To create a brand new table or database.

ALTER:     To modify an present table (add or put off columns).

DROP: To delete a table or database.

TRUNCATE: To delete all rows from a table but preserve its shape.

Example:

sq.

Copy

Edit

CREATE TABLE personnel (

  id INT PRIMARY KEY,

  call VARCHAR(one hundred),

  income DECIMAL(10,2)

);

2. Data Manipulation Language (DML)

DML commands are used for statistics operations which include inserting, updating, or deleting information.

Common DML commands:

SELECT: Retrieve data from one or more tables.

INSERT: Add new records.

UPDATE: Modify existing statistics.

DELETE: Remove information.

Example:

square

Copy

Edit

INSERT INTO employees (id, name, earnings)

VALUES (1, 'Alice Johnson', 75000.00);

three. Data Query Language (DQL)

Some specialists separate SELECT from DML and treat it as its very own category: DQL.

Example:

square

Copy

Edit

SELECT name, income FROM personnel WHERE profits > 60000;

This command retrieves names and salaries of employees earning more than 60,000.

4. Data Control Language (DCL)

DCL instructions cope with permissions and access manage.

Common DCL instructions:

GRANT: Give get right of entry to to users.

REVOKE: Remove access.

Example:

square

Copy

Edit

GRANT SELECT, INSERT ON personnel TO john_doe;

five. Transaction Control Language (TCL)

TCL commands manage transactions to ensure data integrity.

Common TCL instructions:

BEGIN: Start a transaction.

COMMIT: Save changes.

ROLLBACK: Undo changes.

SAVEPOINT: Set a savepoint inside a transaction.

Example:

square

Copy

Edit

BEGIN;

UPDATE personnel SET earnings = income * 1.10;

COMMIT;

SQL Clauses and Syntax Elements

WHERE: Filters rows.

ORDER BY: Sorts effects.

GROUP BY: Groups rows sharing a assets.

HAVING: Filters companies.

JOIN: Combines rows from  or greater tables.

Example with JOIN:

square

Copy

Edit

SELECT personnel.Name, departments.Name

FROM personnel

JOIN departments ON personnel.Dept_id = departments.Identity;

Types of Joins in SQL

INNER JOIN: Returns statistics with matching values in each tables.

LEFT JOIN: Returns all statistics from the left table, and matched statistics from the right.

RIGHT JOIN: Opposite of LEFT JOIN.

FULL JOIN: Returns all records while there is a in shape in either desk.

SELF JOIN: Joins a table to itself.

Subqueries and Nested Queries

A subquery is a query inside any other query.

Example:

sq.

Copy

Edit

SELECT name FROM employees

WHERE earnings > (SELECT AVG(earnings) FROM personnel);

This reveals employees who earn above common earnings.

Functions in SQL

SQL includes built-in features for acting calculations and formatting:

Aggregate Functions: SUM(), AVG(), COUNT(), MAX(), MIN()

String Functions: UPPER(), LOWER(), CONCAT()

Date Functions: NOW(), CURDATE(), DATEADD()

Conversion Functions: CAST(), CONVERT()

Indexes in SQL

An index is used to hurry up searches.

Example:

sq.

Copy

Edit

CREATE INDEX idx_name ON employees(call);

Indexes help improve the performance of queries concerning massive information.

Views in SQL

A view is a digital desk created through a question.

Example:

square

Copy

Edit

CREATE VIEW high_earners AS

SELECT call, salary FROM employees WHERE earnings > 80000;

Views are beneficial for:

Security (disguise positive columns)

Simplifying complex queries

Reusability

Normalization in SQL

Normalization is the system of organizing facts to reduce redundancy. It entails breaking a database into multiple related tables and defining overseas keys to link them.

1NF: No repeating groups.

2NF: No partial dependency.

3NF: No transitive dependency.

SQL in Real-World Applications

Web Development: Most web apps use SQL to manipulate customers, periods, orders, and content.

Data Analysis: SQL is extensively used in information analytics systems like Power BI, Tableau, and even Excel (thru Power Query).

Finance and Banking: SQL handles transaction logs, audit trails, and reporting systems.

Healthcare: Managing patient statistics, remedy records, and billing.

Retail: Inventory systems, sales analysis, and consumer statistics.

Government and Research: For storing and querying massive datasets.

Popular SQL Database Systems

MySQL: Open-supply and extensively used in internet apps.

PostgreSQL: Advanced capabilities and standards compliance.

Oracle DB: Commercial, especially scalable, agency-degree.

SQL Server: Microsoft’s relational database.

SQLite: Lightweight, file-based database used in cellular and desktop apps.

Limitations of SQL

SQL can be verbose and complicated for positive operations.

Not perfect for unstructured information (NoSQL databases like MongoDB are better acceptable).

Vendor-unique extensions can reduce portability.

I'd rather have been asleep at 1:40am instead of laying there thinking about how uncertain and scared I feel right now, but I was laying there feeling uncertain and scared and realized I have no idea what people that work in offices DO.

I've only worked retail/customer service outside of the military and even while working in an office in the military, I had nothing to do.

At first I was put in one office that didn't need me so they just said "Here... Manage these files." and I was like "..... how, exactly??" and ended up retyping the labels for all of them because some were wrong and there was nothing else for me to do.

Then they gave me the personnel database. I rebuilt it and made it accessible in two days, and that was it. After that, I filled out orders for one person once. The only way I had anything to DO was by becoming the mail clerk which is another customer-facing, cyclically repetitive task that is never done and needs redone in the same way every day. After the mail was done, which took about two hours, I would leave or go sit in my office with nothing to do because the database was my whole job and it was DONE. It wouldn't need changed until the software was updated and that wouldn't be for years.

I had a once-a-week task of making a physical copy of the server which meant going into a closet, popping a tape into a machine, and waiting. I had to sit there with it. There was nothing else to do. I got in trouble for coloring in a coloring book while waiting for the backups to write and I was like "........ What am I SUPPOSED to do, then?????" "Work on the database!" "It's DONE........"

If it's SQL stuff do people sit around until the boss says "Hey, I need to know how much we spent on avocado toast this month." and then whip up a report real quick and wait for the boss to want a report on something else? What about when the boss doesn't need a report?

What do IT people do when things are working smoothly?

I can understand data entry, that would be like "Here we have all these waivers that were signed for the indoor trampoline business and these need plugged into the database manually because the online one was down so they're on paper." or something like that but what about when the online waivers do work what do they do then?

?????

It's like that episode of Seinfeld where George gets an office job but just sits there all day because he has no idea what he's supposed to be doing, no one tells him, and he eventually gets fired because he didn't do anything.

Government OS Whitepaper

I didn't know what else to call it; maybe they'll call it "MelinWare" and then somebody will invent a scam under that name for which I will inevitably be blamed.

We have a demand for systems Government and Corporate alike that are essentially "Hack Proof". And while we cannot ensure complete unhackability...

Cuz people are smart and mischievous sometimes;

There is growing need to be as hack safe as possible at a hardware and OS level. Which would create a third computer tech sector for specialized software and hardware.

The problem is; it's not profitable from an everyday user perspective. We want to be able to use *our* devices in ways that *we* see fit.

And this has created an environment where virtually everyone is using the same three operating systems with loads of security overhead installed to simply monitor what is happening on a device.

Which is kind of wasted power and effort.

My line of thinking goes like this;

SQL databases are vulnerable to a type of hack called "SQL Injection" which basically means If you pass on any text to the server (like username and password) you can add SQL to the text to change what the database might do.

What this looks like on the backend is several algorithms working to filter the strings out to ensure nothing bad gets in there.

So what we need are Systems that are like an SQL database that doesn't have that "Injection" flaw.

And it needs to be available to the Government and Corporate environments.

However; in real-world environments; this looks like throttled bandwidth, less resources available at any one time, and a lot less freedom.

Which is what we want for our secure connections anyway.

I have the inkling suspicion that tech companies will try to convert this to a front end for their customers as well, because it's easier to maintain one code backend than it is for two.

And they want as much control over their devices and environment as possible;which is fine for some users, but not others.

So we need to figure out a way to make this a valuable endeavor. And give companies the freedom to understand how these systems work, and in ways that the government can use their own systems against them.

This would probably look like more users going to customized Linux solutions as Windows and Apple try to gobbleup government contracts.

Which honestly; I think a lot of users and start-up businesses could come up from this.

But it also has the ability to go awry in a miriad of ways.

However; I do believe I have planted a good seed with this post to inspire the kind of thinking we need to develop these systems.

[krcdgamedev]

So in case you're wondering what I've been up to for the last month or so (no one is here), I've been working on this-

A CRUD app! Because that seems to be what everyone's making these days. It's an editor for monster data. Because, like, all the tutorials were for managing employee data and shit, but this is what data I have that needs managing. It's got a React js frontend and a javascript backend.

It basically runs off this list of data that spawns the entry rows and stuff, so I can add to it easily or reuse the base code between projects:

That's neat, but it was a real pain in the ass to have to start up both the client and the server whenever I wanted to use it, so I made basically the same thing but in Python with tkinter:

And as an example of reuse here's it being used for moves data-

A lot of things are made easier with this. Mainly there's only one data list, whereas the CRUD app needed the state hooks declared, then the data list including the "pointers" to the state variables and setter functions, then the backend needed its own list of the names of the SQL columns.

This version has some extra features like, if you add something to the data list it'll add a column to the SQL database for you. Plus Python is similar to GDScript, so I could bundle a basic version of it with the Mondo code.

Meanwhile I've been upgrading the battle system to handle multiple mons in one battle-

Next I'm probably going to step back a bit and document the code, because it's becoming a bit messy and I need to clean it up
