+# Importing data to the spell_dbc table
+
+## Introduction
+
+The [spell_dbc](spell_dbc.md) contains data regarding serverside spells which are not to be found in Client DBC files as well as **overrides** of the DBC that are meant to improve or fix any spell.
+
+In order to add overrides for a spell in the `spell_dbc` table, you first need to import the base data about that spell from the Client DBC files (unless that spell has already been imported).
+
+There are around 50k spells in the Client DBC files, you can import one spell or the whole set to the `spell_dbc` table of your local AC database in order to be able to work on them and add your overrides.
+
+When you import the spell from the DBC, you'll get an `INSERT IGNORE` query with all the default values. Save this query somewhere, you'll need it to submit your PR fix.
+After you have imported the spell(s), you can use tools such as [Keira3](https://www.azerothcore.org/Keira3/) to easily get the `UPDATE` query containing your overrides.
+
+When submitting a PR with a `spell_dbc` fix for a certain spell, if that spell was not present in the `spell_dbc` table before, you have to include both the `INSERT IGNORE` and the `UPDATE` query in your PR.
