Bot problems: can't create (invalid name) and can't convert old bots to new system

[Uleat]

There has been some discussion in the forums, I believe, about that particular issue with AAs. If I run across it (them?) I'll post a link.

I'm not sure if this is the sql that the person was missing or not: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob..._aa_update.sql

Versioning should have caught the need..but, I haven't reviewed the trigger for it...

If you do server backups with bots, there could be an issue with either the views or functions not making it into the dump.

It shows up at re-sourcing..usually crashing the process.

Adding the missing item before re-source alleviates that issue.

Another one I'll post a link for if I find it..

Something I do with my db backups,

mysqldump --routines -uroot -ppassword > peq peq.sql

BUT, for now that seems to only keep the views, after resourcing, I still have
to source in the functions.
If I do a fresh db install, the update script adds the views and then I manually
add the function afterwards. I don't find this an inconvenience, (chuckle)
