item_db and item_db2 difference

[Ugur Ozturk]

Hi rAthena. I looked around but couldn't find the real purpose, why there is item_db and itemdb2 as like mob_db and mob_db2 ?

as much as i know, when i modify some item then i do put it to item_db2. The real row inside item_db has been overwriting. And the item_db2 does run. But why ? 

Ref : https://rathena.org/board/topic/93445-missing-item_db2txt/ non-sql based systems does run inside import folder. "What about sql based systems ?"

For the SQL side the item_db2 table works as the db/import/item_db.txt file.

As Euphy said 
It's been renamed; all the "_db2" now follow standard naming, and are located in the import directory. You're looking for db/import-tmpl/item_db.txt.

Item_db2 is now changed to the item_db.txt inside the import folder in your trunk file 
When you add an item in the item_db in the import folder it over rides the item_db.txt the pre-re/re item.db that you are using.
the purpose of it is for adding custom items and custom monsters.

You said well for non-sql based servers. What about sql based servers? there is "item_db2" table. What does it mean ? is it useless and should not to be use ?

Item_db2 this is the place where your custom item should be put to become more organize and clean db
