Upgrading server from 4.3 to 5.0

[Arley McFarley]

Hello,

I want to upgrade my v4.3 server to v5.0 this weekend. It's a 4-day weekend for me.

I'd like to preserve the characters and inventory on the characters in the new 5.0 database. I plan to use the MWnpcdb_050_default0_3.zip to start.

I figure I need to export my characters data from the 4.3 eq database and source it into my new 5.0 eq database.

1. Anyone remember how to do this? Can you give me a couple of quick commands in MySQL for it (export and import)?

2. Any other tables or data I should transpose?

I think I did this once before, but my hardcopy notes and docs have gone the way of the 19-month-old. I'm not particularly fond of the way she manages my documentation, but Daddy's desk is a Wonderland for her and I can't really blame her when she smiles at me that way. You know?

Thanks, much!
Arley
