[RELEASE] ManGOS DB Handler
So you've finally come to this post right? :)
Let's talk a little...WHAT IS Mangos Database Handler? :huh:
Mangos Database Handler (MDH for short) is a open source development effort for making a management software, still in heavy developing, that will allow MaNGOS Users to manage the related database. It's primary focus is EASY TO USE, allowing this way even the most newbie MaNGOS user to mess with the information contained in the database. (actually i'm the only one developer :P )
It's developed in several different modules that are structured to give the chance to modify separated parts of the database (items,characters, quests, etc..). These modules are interconnected each other giving more feature to the end-user.
Mangos Database Handler have Import/Export feature for Accounts/Chars that allow MaNGOS server administrator to easily backup every needed tables inside portable .EMA files compressed and ready to be imported on another server if needed. (very useful after database upgrade)
The software is made completely in C# and it's fully OpenSource under the BSD licence (you must accept the licence to use the software or use the sourcecode).

1) You need latest Mangos Revision
2) Mangos Database WITHOUT STARTING NUMBER CHARACTER (2177 = WRONG | Hello = GOOD)
3) You need .NET Framework 2.0
4) You need MySQL 5.*
5) You need MySQL to be configured to allow remote connection.
