I understand that major code changes happen from version to version, and that requires releaseing new patches, etc. But why will a core db from, say 5.5, be incompatable with, say 0.6.2 ? Is the the db structure, aka collumns and relationships that changes or is it something else?

I am curious because the closer we (by we i really mean the Devs!) get to getting a 'perfected' emu server, then , usually, the smaller the changes are from ver to ver and am wondering if its still to soon to start thinking about a standardized DB format, reguardless of content. Ideally, with identical db formats, one could simply switch from "0.6.2-traditionalEQ" db to "0.6.2-WickedCrazyCustom" db by way of updating an .ini and restarting server.

Additionally, a standard would ideally allow for a more stable software package.

Yes i remember this comming up a few years back, but like i said above, maybe now is the time, or maybe really soon.

Pros/Cons... what do yall think?
My Guess is the db structures, have new Fields in them...
ie: augments; were never in the older releases.. thats why it changes all the time...to keep up with the jones's.
