New User: Database Question (spawning NPCs)

[HermanTurnip]

Hey all! I'm a new user, and have been successful in setting up a minilogin server. The question I have deals with spawning NPCs. Using info from the Wiki and the forums, I use the following commands to successfully create an NPC:

#spawn [name] [race] [leavel] etc...
#npcspawn create
#npcspawn add

When I look at the SQL database tables, none of my spawned toons exist, yet there they are in the game. I've created quite a few spawns, and have been working with them all week, but am concerened about them not existing in any of the database tables (BTW: I'm using PEQ & server 0.7.0).

Can spawned NPCs exist elsewhere besides the SQL tables? If so, where? How can they exist in game but not in any SQL tables?

Also, why can I not manually save new entries into the SQL tables? I can manually add new entries, but it seems as if SQL will not save the tables. I can alter existing data and save it, but I can get new entries to save. Is this user error?

Thanks!
