As of Jaymod 2.1.0 a new text-based database file structure has been implemented.
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 8.1. Data Transition
| pre-2.1.0 | 2.1.0 | DATA DESCRIPTION |

- level.db
Stores Admin System levels available for promoting users to higher levels of access. Data maintenance on this file should be done with the appropriate Admin System commands.
- map.db
Stores map related information such as killing-spree data. Data maintenance on this file can only be done with a text editor while the server is shutdown.
- user.db
Stores Admin System user related information, such as user level assignments, automatic greetings, ban, mute and XP-save data. Data maintenance on this file should be done with the appropriate Admin System commands.
