+== Database Updates ==
+This folder contains SQL files which will apply required updates to your MySQL
+database, whenever the MaNGOS database structure has been changed or extended.

+To see if you need an update, the file names have been given a fixed structure
+that should enable you to see if you need an update or not.

+File names are divided into two parts. First part is the revision that will be 
+compatible with database after apply update. The second part of the name, 
+is the table that needs and update or has been added. See an example below:
