Bot SQL Backup Script Issue
 

The backup script that comes with the PEQ SVN seems to be not working properly. I reciently did a backup of my bots to update my db. The backup worked fine but when I reload the file back into the updated peq ver 590 db I get the following error:

I have never had a problem with this script up until now.

How can I fix it so I can restore my bots back into the database?

When I had this problem, I had to roll back to an older DB to import the bots. I then modified the bot backup script to include --complete-insert as an option to mysqldump. This causes the dump to include the column names so you can restore it later even if columns are added. I created a new backup of the bots, changed to the new DB (again) and then was able to import the bots.

You can also hand jam it. I've pulled a line in the npc_types file and a line out of the bot backup sql file and compared them field by field in xcel, found the offending field and added a default value. That has worked for me as well.

This worked perfectly thanks!

Any time :)
