Yeah - that's where the idea comes from. At first, the database team had a heck of a time trying to organize everything and how it would work out for the benefit of everyone. Fast forward a few years later, and now everything is working flawlessly. The problem was catering to the MaNGOS team's fickle way of handling the structure of the game. If they change something that required a datbase change for functionality, a tiny SVN update was all that it took.

The system we have in place for updating databases is super easy. And trust me, we've had our share of database nightmares. Submitting the small database updates in increments weekly or bi-weekly is a much easier task as well, for those that want to stay current. For those that want to start fresh, all they had to do was source in the main sql file with all of the tables and play.
