Some noobs questions!

Hello everyone,

got some questions about the server here, i just started my own one and i have opened the ports and what not, Now I need to learn how the database works, i know that it’s where the players and player data is stored, I was wondering if there is something you can do to have everything saved locally on the server PC instead of in the database incase of databse crashes and what not with xampp. Some beginner guides or whatever would be much appriciated. I’m really new at this and would love for someone to help me out
