Where do I start?

Ok, lately i've had alot more free time than I need and I was going to start making a nice EQEmu server, problem is I dont know where to start.

I know how to get a server running and everything I just need to know how to work on the database. What I want to do is dump out all of the items and make a fully custom set of them, its going to be legit but alot easier than EQlive, IE the weapons are going to be just a bit more powerful.

So i'm guessing this will require knowing how to edit the database or something.. So can anybody tell me where some guides are or something? I couldnt find anything around here.

Tools for editing the rest of the database is in progress by other parties.
