Created database revision define, this is located in version.h in common #define CURRENT_BINARY_DATABASE_VERSION 9057
- This revision define will need to be incremented each time a database update is made
- Along with a revision define increment, you will need to update the db_update manifest located in:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EQEmu/Server/master/utils/sql/db_update_manifest.txt
- An entry needs to be made at the bottom of the manifest, the entry is quite simple
- Example: 9057|2014_11_13_spells_new_updates.sql|SHOW COLUMNS FROM `spells_new` LIKE 'disallow_sit'|empty|
- This latest example is checking to see if the spells_new table contains the column 'disallow_sit', if its empty, the update needs to be ran
- More examples of match types below:
# Example: Version|Filename.sql|Query_to_Check_Condition_For_Needed_Update|match type|text to match
# 0 = Database Version
# 1 = Filename.sql
# 2 = Query_to_Check_Condition_For_Needed_Update
# 3 = Match Type - If condition from match type to Value 4 is true, update will flag for needing to be ran
# contains = If query results contains text from 4th value
# match = If query results matches text from 4th value
# missing = If query result is missing text from 4th value
# empty = If the query results in no results
# not_empty = If the query is not empty
# 4 = Text to match
- The manifest contains all database updates 'Required' to be made to the schema, and it will contain a working backport all the way back to SVN -
currently it is tested and backported through the beginning of our Github repo
- On world bootup or standalone run of db_update.pl, users will be prompted with a simple menu that we will expand upon later:

Created db_update.pl, placed in utils/scripts folder, used for the automatic database update routine (Linux/Windows)
- db_update.pl script created db_version table if not created, if old one is present it will remove it
Created db_dumper.pl, placed in utils/scripts folder, used for the automatic database update routine backups and standalone backups (Linux/Windows)
World will now check the db_update.pl script on bootup, if the db_update.pl script is not present, it will fetch it remotely before running -
when db_update.pl is done running, world will continue with bootup
world.exe db_version - will report database binary version
Note: This does not allow the raid leader to share raid leader XP
and since the raid leader doesn't gain group leadership, they can't
share that either.
is updated to a newer version. (Had a really nice load script coded..but, the supported version of MySQL doesn't support 'TEMPORARY' procedures, nor commit commands from
'PREPARE(d)' statements... :( )
