A bunch of important information before attempting database restore process

Wrong SQL Setup or improperly restored database often results in collation related issues. We advise to check the above once database is setup.

3.1. General

• User for the Databases MUST HAVE English language set in properties
• It is good practice to do not leave database owner field empty, follow database properties to set it
• User privilege to server database should be set to Owner

No matter of selected database collation type the collaction must be Case Insensitive

3.2. Restoring Database

1. To restore database follow to SQL Server Management Studio and create new empty databases named MuOnline, Events and Ranking (or chose own names) - remember to select desired collation, see point 3.1

Alternatively, if you are advanced SQL User you may want to use DatabaseCreate.sql script

2. Follow to \Server\Database\ folder and open included SQL scripts in Query Analyser of SQL Management Studio

• Me_MuOnline_MD5.sql
  This is database for purpose of advanced server configuration (shared account among different servers) configured to support MD5 - have chosen this one? Follow to complete MD5 installation
• Me_MuOnline_without_MD5.sql
  This is database for purpose of advanced server configuration (shared account among different servers) without MD5 support
• MuOnline_MD5.sql
  This is database for regular server configuration, configured to support MD5 - have chosen this one? Follow to complete MD5 installation
• MuOnline_without_MD5.sql
  This is database for regular server configuration, without MD5 support
• Events.sql
  This is database storing sort of Events information
• Ranking.sql
  This is database storing range of ranking information
• BattleCore.sql
  This is database storing informating for purpose of Battle Core server

MD5 Support for database without it can be added later if needed, however previous passwords will not be recognized by the encryption algorithm

3.Execute selected scripts over freshly created databases by opening them in SQL Management Studio and pressing F5

if you changed database names it is necessary to change the name in USE statement located at the top of each script, e.g use [NewDatabaseName]

3.3. MD5 Installation on Database

Few extra steps that is required to complete MD5 installation on freshly restored Database

MD5 encryption working only with (x86) distributions of SQL Server.

All database scripts come with implemented MD5 function, you can skip Step 3 then

IMPORTANT MuOnline database user must be also an owner of master database

1. Copy WZ_MD5_MOD.dll to <drive>:\<path>\Microsoft SQL Server\'INSTANCE_NAME'\MSSQL\Binn


2. Run the following codes in Query Analyzer on master database
   
   use [master]
   GO
   
   exec sp_addextendedproc 'XP_MD5_EncodeKeyVal', 'WZ_MD5_MOD.dll'
   GO


3. Run the following codes in Query Analyzer on MuOnline/Me_MuOnline database
   
   use [MuOnline] -- or [Me_Muonline] depends of server configuration
   GO
   
   IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[fn_md5]') AND type IN ( N'FN', N'IF', N'TF', N'FS', N'FT' ))
    BEGIN
     EXEC('CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_md5] (@data VARCHAR(10), @data2 VARCHAR(10))
      RETURNS BINARY(16) AS
      BEGIN
       DECLARE @hash BINARY(16)
       EXEC master.dbo.XP_MD5_EncodeKeyVal @data, @data2, @hash OUT
       RETURN @hash
      END')
    END
