If you don't, don't worry: it's very easy and you will find a lot of guides on Google, whatever MySQL client tool you're using. + +### Creating the databases + +Create three empty databases: + +- `acore_world` +- `acore_characters` +- `acore_auth` + + +### Importing the SQL files + +The SQL files are located under `/data/sql/` directory. + +In `data/sql/base` there are the files to create the base structure & contents for the 3 database (world, auth and characters). + +Similarly, in `data/sql/updates` there are the updates that our developers add with time. + +Importing those files manually one by one is a long process that can be automated. The script `apps/db_assembler/db_assembler.sh` allows you to assemble those files (i.e. merge them together), so the process of importing them will be faster. -- cgit
