Basic DB changes / I'm lost

[RamsiMage]

Ok so I got my server up and running. I can log in, get exp, etc. I got my account GM flagged and started playing with some of the GM commands.

Now I want to make some basic changes to the DB and learn how to create a custom server. I guess the most basic would be EXP to 2x 3x etc.. After searching around, I found a line of code for the mysql> prompt and the GUI option for MySQL Server.

So I got MySQL Server 5.02 and the GUI tools installed. Open up MySQL Query Browser and connect to my DB. NP yet.

Inside I find on the right a list under the Schemata tab, included in that list is my DB called peq. I click on the "yellow oil barrel" called peq and it drops down a list of ??tables??. I scroll down to ZONE and right click EDIT TABLE.

Inside the table the first tab "Columns and Indices", I scroll down to ZONE_EXP_MULTIPLIER and change it to something crazy like 9.0 Click APPLY CHANGES and close MySQL. Start up the server and log in with a normal (non-gm) toon and kill a few things. No noticable changes.

I know there's another method of using mysql> prompt and typing in the change variable line, but I would much rather this method if its possible.

Thoughts?
