DB management

[Disorder]

Greetings, folks.

Thanks again, everyone for the help so far. It's been fascinating. I have learned so much!

I was trying to add an aug pool to a zone. I was reading other posts about it, but I still cannot get it to show. Any way, that isn't the reason for this post.

I accidentally edited a line in the objects table thinking it was a different line. I'm pretty sure I was unable to correct my mistakes. Is there a way to get just the objects file imported to my DB from the (forgive me if this is incorrect) SVN?

Also, what do you guys find the best way to backup your DB to prevent such nonsense? Luckily, I won't lose much, as I only tried to make one change (see augpool).

I'm also trying to clear out a zone (crushbone) and make all custom mobs. I have georgeS tools (fantastic btw!). One thing I am unsure of, however, is how to remove the mobs from the zone with out actually deleting them from the DB. The "Kill mob" button on georgeS appears to remove them from DB, unlike manually selecting the mob and "#npcspawn remove" command -- So I think.

Lastly, How do I ensure that when I create a new grid ID I don't overwrite existing ones in the DB?

Sorry, loaded post. Thank you all in advance.
