Yep thats the best DB atm trust me.

That is not totally true.. While it IS an awesome DB, there is another that deserves mention. They both have their strengths and weaknesses... The one I am referring to is Myra's DB. I actually use this one mroe than I use the MW, but I DO use them both (just not at the same time) If you want to experiment with other DB's you can just go to the world building forum and find the links to download them.... Below is a short guide to adding another DB without having to delete your old one (read switching db on the fly so you can use both if you like):

Make sure you have both DB's in your \mysql\bin folder.
open dos prompt.
Now you will use basically the same commands you used to create your db in the first place, but notice there is a dfferent name for the new one you create.
If you didnt already do this before using the *.* string, you may want to do this as it will grant access to ALL your db's you create without having to re-enter the grant command... Also <new db> is where you will type the name of the DB you will want to use, without the < and > keys.... :

Code:

cd c:\mysql\bin

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO &lt;username>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '&lt;password>' WITH GRANT OPTION;

CREATE DATABASE &lt;new db>;

USE &lt;new db>;

source &lt;name of new db to source in ie.. myradb.sql>;

quit

Now you will have two db's created, and when you want to use the new one with your server, just edit your db.ini file and tell it which one you want to use.... eq or the new one you just created .... rinse and repeat as necessary.... :) Hope this is useful....
