What is PDC?

PDC stands for PersistentDataContainer, this allows QuickNick to save the nickname of a user in the user's .dat file, however this means it is impossible to sync nicknames between servers.

What is SQL?

SQL is a form of Database storage which can be accessed from multiple servers, if you have multiple servers connected to the SQL server then nicknames can be synced.
