Custom data fields and tables

How do I go about creating a custom table with custom fields?

I want to be able to query this table.

I'd also like to link this table to my player table, so I can get all records that match a certain player.

How do I implement this?

Thanks

Right now, we have the ability to have arbitrary key/value pairs associated with the user (which can be read/write, read-only, or hidden, as far as the client is concerned), at both the title (individual game) level and publisher (across multiple titles) level. We also provide Shared Group Data objects (as Hamza pointed out), which allow you to have data collections which can be associated with multiple users (or no users at all).

Could you describe the specific gameplay scenarios you're trying to enable? I'm sure, with the details of what you're trying to accomplish, we can provide the details for a system which will cover your needs.

Could you describe the scenario you're trying to enable in more detail, so that we can help design a solution for you using our features? We provide the ability for you to store arbitrary key/value pairs both at the title and user level, with multiple variations depending on the security required for the data (whether clients should be able to edit it or even see it).

@Meltdown Interactive : try SharedGroupData !

I'm talking about a NoSQL table designer in the GameManager like Parse has, that allows you to easily create tables and import data from CSV, JSON etc, and query it through the API.

All I've seen in the docs is Catalogs, but those seem more related to currency than general data.
