Database Conversion.

[WildcardX]

This thread has motivated me to write a tool that will be a EQEmu Server database administrator. I am finishing up my first beta version and hope to have it released for download sometime this weekend. It is my intent to write this tool in such a way that it will not only be backward compatible to every previous world database, but will also adapt to future databases. In fact, the basic functionality of this tool will also work on pretty much any MySQL Server database versions 4.0.x, 4.1 or the future 5.0. After the beta release I will add tools to the application that are specific to EQEmu record keeping. The basic functions will present all databases in "Microsoft Access" like views and allow record updating, deleting or inserting. This tool is written in C#.NET so you will need to download the Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework to use it.

I will make an announcement in the coming days, when this beta version is ready for downloading.

Very cool WildcardX. I'll download that

I've been downloading several converter programs checking them out and I like the idea. Yeah, you can't make quick updates and hop right back in your server to check out the changes but on a mass fix scale it's much easier to find and read everything.
