...yeah...
1. I like to write SQL scripts <shrug>, at least for now.
2. It is also nice to have a record of things I have changed/done. Maybe there's a better way, but this is one reason I've been doing it this way.
3. It has taught me a lot about SQL.

I've got George's tools (Awesome btw) and I use them but I am still learning them.

Bingo! Thanks Chaos, I knew it was something obvious I should have thought of. Thank you! I did that and it worked.

A couple questions:
1. Let's say, for example, I use George's Tools and make a whole bunch of changes to the database. And let's say there's a whole bunch of updates for the db. How do you guys reconcile the two? I know there's update SQL scripts, are you just running those on your db? What if one breaks something you made? So do you scrutinize the update before you run it? I've really been wondering about this, what do you guys do?

2. How do you make a NPC move? Walk a route? Run? I don't need all the details, I just don't know where to start.
