This is exactly the thread for this newb question, I think.

If I'm downloading the PEQ db via CVS, must I always do a player wipe when I source drop_player.sql and then source load_player.sql?

I'm afraid that I can't just drop and load the system updates for fear of updating SQL code in the system tables that depend upon updates in the player tables.

I know I can patch less frequently, but each update gives me something to pick through and learn from.

Whatcha think?

Thanks,

D.

You don't need to drop and source player tables when upgrading, only system. That's why the two are separated.

Tricky...I was just about to tell you about the zip problem when you fixed it.

FYI, 7-zip for Windows will also support gzip format and it is a free (and very well written) archiving program.

Corrected the corrupt file, I forgot to mark the .gz as binary instead of text

It's extracting now with Winrar.
Thanks for fixing it. Had me stumped earlier as I was going thru a myriad of decompression programs for Windows.
