Howto: Database Update - Datadumps

[ryan9mm]

I started working with the killboard and installed version 361 on my website. I wanted to be able to update so I could include QR stuff and downloaded the QR data-dump file. After messing around with it for awhile I figured out how to update the MySQL tables using the data-dump files. Here is my PDF tutorial on how to do this. It has worked for me on 5 sites so let me know if this works for you.

Here's the link for the tutorial: http://www.ryan-rock.com/eveonline/Upda ... Kbdata.pdf

thnx for datadumps.... ^_^
to update i use phpmyadmin (to delete table) & dumper.php (to restore backups) ... dumper is MUCH more faster than phpmyadmin restore\backup ....

This isn't really needed any more, since the method of updating the database has changed. The EDK has a built-in DB updater that we use to distribute updates now.
