Question about the databases

[Relaric]

I'm watching the forums and seeing all these things about loot codes and how new ones are being put into the databases and a lot of database stuff heh. I'm not extremely literate with comp terms and I'm still new to eqemu so I was wondering if I needed to download something off the site or if there was something I had to do to update the database currently being used by my program. Basically, is there anything I have to do to recieve the new codings and use all of the updated changes that are being made, or will they automatically be changed on my individual program...hopefully that makes sense. Any response would rock, thanks guys
