I don't remember the exact post; but if you download the additional sql files that are required for 5.9DR2 the PEQ database works with no problems. It is addressed in another post, maybe in the how to forum.
The only problems I had with the database were problems I caused.
If you don't want to find all the sql files to get classic working try the Alpha 1; it requires no extra work
