SEDB82b Release Databases
=========================

SEOW SEDB82b Release Notes 23 March 2026

This folder contains all SEOW database files needed to execute campaigns in any of the 96 supported databases of SEOW v8.2.0
The files are in MySQL format.

MySQL
-----
The files in this folder are variants of SEDB82b created in MySQL (.sql) format. Each database variant comes in
"MySQL_simple" and "MySQL_extended" formats. Some MySQL database administration tools may prefer the simple format, 
whilst others (e.g. Navicat) will work most happily with the extended format. 

The Reference SEDB82b MySQL database contains all 2.3 million records for all 96 sectors. This is intended to be a resource
for SEOW developers, and is not normally recommended for use as a production campaign database.

MySQL_simple/SEDB82b_Reference_simple.sql
MySQL_extended/SEDB82b_Reference_ext.sql


"Lite" versions are also supplied for each sector. These contain only information relevant to the sector, thus giving improved 
efficiency for administration and query performance. For all the "Lite" versions, the individual databases can only support 
campaign operations in the relevant sector. The standard SQL "Lite" versions are:

MySQL_extended Folder
===================
The "extended SQL insert" versions have "_ext.sql" as the filename endings.


UTF-8 Character Set Support
===========================

SEOW permits unit names to be customized in order to satisfy a wide range of campaign scenarios. This 
means that airforce, army, navy and rail unit names can be specified by the campaign designer, simply
by editing the Airforce_Units, Army_Units, Navy_Units and Railway_Units tables. The edits can include
extended character support as long as (i) the characters are supported by the UTF-8 character set, and
(ii) the characters are entered in escaped hex format, e.g. \u00f6 is the same as the German o-umlaut.

The file "UTF-8.txt" included in this release provides an exhaustive listing of available UTF-8 characters
and their hex and html representations. The SEOW Statistics tool contains logic sufficient to decode and 
display all the characters used in the default Airforce_Units table; the coded mapping logic is
are found in the LL() function defined in the Scripts/MP-SpecialCharacters.php file. If extra characters
are used anywhere in the database, then please ensure that the LL() function is brought up to date, 
otherwise corrupted display of relevant unit names is likely.

Enjoy!
