There are a number of updates you can add to the DB. The DB has plenty of populated zones. Just without these proper updates, it may not be read properly.
There is probably a problem with the AC collumn if you didnt already add it, or source in an update. This has been a problem for alot of people.
You can either add it manually by typing the following in the SQL command line
Code:
ALTER TABLE npc_types ADD ac int;
Then type
Code:
update npc_types set ac=0 where ac is null;
Or you can get the update from here

If the sql doesnt work. add the collumn mannually with the 1st command above. then try sourcing it in again.
