As of Jaymod 2.1.0 a new text-based database file structure has been created.
Replacing the old data files are new .db files.
These files, when possible, store information in human-readable ASCII format.
![[Important]](../images/important.png) | Important |
|---|---|
All .db files are loaded into memory at game-init (map begin) time,
and subsequently saved out to disk (overwriting the files) at game-shutdown (map end) time.
This means any manual edits made to the database files will be lost
at game-shutdown time.
The best practice for manual edits (eg: adding levels to level.db file) is
to first shutdown the server before editing database files.

The following table describes the new locations for old data.
Table 7.1. Data Transition

- level.db

- user.db

greetingtextmust manually be edited. You cannot edit xpSkills. The following sample shows a typical user with authLevel=0 which corresponds to the level=0 record inlevel.db.Figure 7.2. user.db Sample
