What do you have to reload on changes...

[techguy84]

If you haven't already, download the latest source at www.eqemulator.net/download.php
and add the specific SQL entries (should be in the changelogs up to your version, check them all out.)

This would all depend on what they are running. If you get the latest emu binary/source ect... then you are far better off to update your database in its entierty(spelling?). Unless of course you have made a boat load of changes, then you would be best to run the sql entries out of the changelog.

This is a opinion, just like your post. Personally, I would say, if you updated only your varibles table, then just dump that table and your accounts table and char table, then source in the CVS PEQ database or angelox's Classic and then source in the dumped sql files for the tables you edited. To my knowledge if you dump a table, then source it in on top of another table, it will overwrite duplicates and add in any custom stuff you did prior.

I dunno so dont quote me as I am a noob in the details of MySQL. I could test this though and report my findings, but for some reason I feel as we have already derailed this thread enough as getting DBs anc changelogs seems to not be mentioned by OP.
