Default Two Cents

Here's my two cents because I've done this already for 4.4dr1.

If your that desperate for the data your after and have a few days time.
Take your favorite db, export to a newly created db so your not screwing with the original db.
Print the table properties for each table property in your copied_db (something I've done).
Create a new_db source in the latest db related to your versions of EQEmu server and eqclient.exe files, source in that db.
Now print out the same table properties data and make certain that tables have or have not been removed from this new versus old or added to new versus old.
This part sucks but the only way to do it yourself is to actually go table property by table property and manually compare them making changes to the appropriate locations in your copied_db table properties so that it matches the new db properties. (much time has passed by at this point, like a couple weeks).
You could probably use MySQL comparison functions but I'm not giving them because I'd end up being responsible to walking you through it and its a pain in the butt.
*NOTE* keep fingers and toes crossed at all times and pray to whomever you wish for it to be successful or you've wasted a lot of time.
Good luck on this one,
Darkwaters
