Best Database?

What is the most complete database?

I usually put my faith in Drawde, but some of the other databases have alternate (and at times better) material. Stick with Drawde's work, though. He's probably got the most manhours in his.

You could also try making one yourself by compiling table data from different databases, assuming all the tables are compatible with the version of EQEmu you're running. For example, you could put together databases eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4, etc. Source old databases into each one and then using the export feature of MySQL-Front, export the table data from the tables you want to keep into individual sql files, then create a new database "eqcomplete" or something and source in teh new sql files you created with the export feature and tehn you can export that whole database to a singlq sql file for future use.

For example, you could load the databases from Emu version 4.3 into database eq2, then export the starting_items table data to an sql file, then load the databases from version 4.4 plus Dwarde's Worlddata 1.1 beta 5 into database eq, then source that new sql file (the one you created with export from eq2) into database eq. This would make it so that the "starting_items" table has 400 some odd records in it (the records from version 4.3) instead of the zero records from the standard db from 4.4 + Dwarde's.

Just something to think about :). Just don't source in any tables that are no longer compatible in their old forms.

Any of the databases have PoP armor though?

I go with telmet, his compiles and database files are great for newcomers, as it sets up easily. Its got somewhat into PoP, but not everything.

Too bad FH Server won't release its database, it's pretty much up to date.

Drawde's, it rocks...it's playable as it stands.
