title: Java & MySQL- Rankings
body: <p>I am making a game and I require a ranking system. I already save all the stats like kills, deaths, wins, innocent shots, etc with MySQL. I am clueless a the moment on how I would be able to rank everyone. I want to have it over MySQL but they will be updated very quickly. I was thinking I could load all ranks in a HashMap when the game starts but that would be very ineffective since there are thousands of players. I want to also use most of the stats to work this out. Could someone explain to me how I would be able to do this? Thanks! </p>
