Acceptable/efficient syntax

[AdrianD]

I reverted everything that was working with PetLogPersistence. The issue previous was simple and something I overlooked as I quickly wrote it in as I was out the door.

I went back to \zone\client_process.cpp and added queries to the code.

The results are a little better. The entries are deleted until zoning or casting a new pet when new ones are made. I attempted to add database.SavePetInfo(this); <void ZoneDatabase::SavePetInfo(Client *client)> but the result wasn't desireable. (because of <PetInfo *petinfo = nullptr;> happening first maybe?)

The pet window still appears for a short time and the pet=0 entries are non-existent for the char logged 30+ minutes after initial login. (/q resets the entries - unsure if this = LD)

	bool deletenorent = database.NoRentExpired(GetName());
	if (deletenorent) { //client was offline for more than 30 minutes, delete no rent items
		if (RuleB(Inventory, TransformSummonedBags))
			DisenchantSummonedBags(false);
		RemoveNoRent(false);

// added 9/30/15 no rent check (this may need fixing when introducing suspended minion - if this was an issue the queries below should fix it)
		if (!RuleB(Pets, PetLogPersistence))
		{
			SetPet(0);
			
			std::string query = StringFormat("DELETE FROM `character_pet_info` WHERE `char_id` = %u AND character_pet_info.pet = 0", CharacterID());
			auto results = database.QueryDatabase(query);
			
			query = StringFormat("DELETE FROM `character_pet_buffs` WHERE `char_id` = %u AND character_pet_info.pet = 0", CharacterID());
			results = database.QueryDatabase(query);
			
			query = StringFormat("DELETE FROM `character_pet_inventory` WHERE `char_id` = %u AND character_pet_info.pet = 0", CharacterID());
			results = database.QueryDatabase(query);						
		}
	}

If I knew how to set these queries up in zonedb.cpp and make the connections to it from client_process, I would have. This really isn't that difficult, the concept, the web of connections. It's the syntax or C++ grammar that is the pain in the ass, the huge hindrance for me. I can figure out how the EQEmu system works just by exposure and asking questions where the answer is fairly simple, as has been mentioned.

Thanks
