Is it Possible to... (Help with Mysqldump)
 

I'm Trying to think of a way to enchance a Current DB by adding additional zone spawns.

I was hoping i could load a "test" server that i host myself and plug in those spawns. Then Export those spawn data out of the game into a small DB. With the DB that i exported could i be able to plug it into a more Complete Database?

Will this work?

Thanks,

Jib

Sure...

Load the data into your database, then you can dump it back out with this command

mysqldump eq [tablename] > filename.sql

That will dump all your data in that table out though, not just your updated ones. That could then be sourced into anyone elses database to load your spawns in using this line

source filename.sql inside of mysql.

Thanks :)

I still didnt get it.. I did a test on my Items dump and heres what i typed in Run

C:\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe eq3 items > myitems.sql

eq3 = 3rd EQ Database.. Dont ask ;o

items = the Items Table

myitems.sql = the file i want to come out.

I typed that.. It Beeped like hell, when it was finally done i couldnt find Myitems.sql

I tried it with spawns as well.. no beeping but no file either.
