I am almost certain you can add the new columns for the newer 13th floor stuff to your eq database. The server shouldn't care, cuz if we do a select *, it'll only use what it needs... and in many cases, I see us do a select [field-list] anyway, so again, newer columns *should* be ignored. The problem will come in writing TO the database - if we do not provide the exact field names for our VALUES () statement.
Ie., INSERT INTO items (field-list) VALUES (values);
Without the field-list on an insert, you will get invalid column count errors. But reading should be ok.
