A couple of questions before I try and go too deep:

1) Do you need monthly dumps or will an annual one do OK?

2) Will this work with other year OOTP games or only 21?

As a side note, at least on Win 7, the MySQL server database function when starting your program does not allow a cut and paste into the command line window. I have a really long path, so will move my test files to the root on C-drive to make the path shorter.

Thanks for any responses, and thanks for writing this program.

1. For the Gameday feature, I would do weekly dumps. The reason is that Gameday looks forward 7 days and is keyed off the current date in the game at the time of the dump.

2. This should work on XX. I believe that 19 will throw an error because there was a small change in the fields between 19 and XX.

3. Also, I am in the middle of refactoring the whole shebang so that you won't need MySQL at all. More details on that when it's complete.
