Is this normal?

I don't use the updater :p. i wanted to dink around with source even though i have not, yet. i used installer to get db setup. since then i compile source and run the db updates as needed and update db version etc.

i created the table, only unsure thing was whether to default timestamp to current time stamp, but i left it no default since there wasn't a note in the wiki. i just tested and seems to work fine as long as it starts as an empty table. edit: i compared to the 2015-1-31 sql too.

i double checked all the other 'character_...' tables from github wiki and i have all of them except this one for some reason. i started with a peq database from the installer, though. and long after 1-31-2015. the only thing i hand sourced was bots and then the sql updates incrementally based on db's stated version and manifest.

i'll go look it over and make sure i didn't do it wrong.

edit: okay looks fine. however, like i said i used the db from the installer for initial install which was after that db-update from 1-31-2015 (date and db version value). maybe it was a temprorary hiccup when i happened to install it? obviously others don't have the problem. or i somehow deleted that one table... never know.

I've done all my installs, with manual compiling of source code and manual installs
of the database, etc. THEN, I run the updater script and all updated tables get
installed properly. From what I have observed, it's usually been those who want
to "dink around" in their own special way, that experience the most problems.

problem isn't form the source and the database came from installer, but i appologize for trying to customize something on my home server, grumpy. plus, any monkey can read a db manifest and follow it. 'this' monkey has a CS degree. turns out nothing i sourced had to do with it.

any problem that could have caused it had to occur when the db was created based on logic of context. the automated process was used to setup the database and update it, and it was created/auto-updated ~2.5 years after that jan 2015 sql update which creates the character_item_recast table.

since the current player_table file doesn't create it, it is very possible it has been that way for a while. i had to re-create my server last year and based on folder creation dates it was 8-2017ish, fwiw. it possibly was that way for that long or more.

what you say may very well be true more than not, but not applicable to this situation.

edit:
eqemu_server.pl is update script? i open that all the time and it says it's up to date.

Sorry kokey, guess I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish. My last reply
was based on the assumption you were doing a fresh, new install of both source
code and current database, (db version 9122) "then" going to monkey around with
that, haha but I'll keep my nose out of it and let you hash it out
