Force a zone to reload itself from the database

[WildcardX]

How can I make a zone force a reload from the database without having to shutdown the whole server?

I don't actually think this is possible. At least I haven't seen a command for this. I know how to reload the quests, but reloading the database is probably out of the question. The way I understand it, the database is all loaded into the memory once and world.exe and all zones use that one database loaded into memory. So you would have to clear everything using that from memory to force a reload of the database--- so you'd have to shut everything down.

Depends on what you want to reload.

If you want to reload npc's and such, you can #repop, that should depop the zone, requery the mobs from the database tables and respawn them.
