Database updates??
 

I am a new admin and just got my server up and running. YEAH!

I am running an older version of the emulator however and would like to update to the latest version.

My question: Can you just upgrade the existing database by sourcing the new .sql file to it? Or Do you have to drop the old database and create a new one from scratch?

Thanks in advance.

You have to drop the database, but generally if you're looking to save character and account data , all you need to do is dump those 2 tables, create the new ones, then put those back in.

Theres an upgrade script in the release, but theres a couple of minor bugs in it (they can be worked through pretty easily though)

where is the walkthrough for dumping char info for noobs? please

go here for instruction on dumps for acct and char info
