Database

You must ensure that the collation of your database, tables and columns is the same!A difference in collation between tables can occur, e.g., when the database server has been switched. The database server defines the "default collation" used unless otherwise specified.If the collation is not the same across at least the tables listed below, FiveNet's database migrations have a very high likely hood of failing due to that.

This is a list of the minimum expected tables with their columns:

Tables

The below database/table structure is only needed when wanting to use your server's ESX tables directly.In case of using the dbsync, you can ignore these instructions.

`jobs` Table

name
label

`job_grades` Table

job_name
grade
label

`licenses` Table

type
label

`owned_vehicles` Table

owner - varchar(64) NOT NULL
plate
type
model (Optional, can be overriden via database.custom.columns.vehicles.model config option)

`users` Table

id - int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
identifier - varchar(64) NOT NULL
group
firstname
lastname
dateofbirth
job
job_grade
sex
height
phone_number
visum (Optional, can be overriden via database.custom.columns.user.visum config option)
playtime (Optional, can be overriden via database.custom.columns.user.playtime config option)

`user_licenses` Table

type
owner - varchar(64) NOT NULL

Database/Table Collation

You must ensure that the collation of your database, tables and columns is the same!

A difference in collation between tables can occur, e.g., when the database server has been switched. The database server defines the "default collation" used unless otherwise specified. If the collation is not the same across at least the tables listed below, FiveNet's database migrations have a very high likely hood of failing due to that.

My recommendation for database, table and column collation is utf8mb4_general_ci and the charset utf8bm4.

To check the collation of your database tables, you can use the following SQL queries:

USE `__YOUR_DATABASE_NAME_HERE__`;
SHOW TABLE STATUS;

Changing the database, table, column Collation

I personally have used How to easily convert utf8 tables to utf8mb4 in MySQL 5.5 - Database Administrators Stack Exchange, but, as pointed out by the comments, with SET foreign_key_checks = 0; before you would run the generated queries and SET foreign_key_checks = 1; after you ran the generated queries.

Creating Database User

These are sample queries to create a database user named fivenet with "full" access to the database (database_name). You are expected to change the password in the first query and specify the right database name in the GRANT query second line.

CREATE USER 'fivenet'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `database_name`.* TO 'fivenet'@'%';
