 = Changing the database used by OpenSimulator =
-Since SQLite is our default database, there often comes a time when people outgrow it and want to move on to another database backend (usually MySQL).
+To change the database engine used, for example for the simple SQLite to MySql, you will need a OpenSimulator Region Archive (OAR) file of the region, for example
+on a single region instance:
-An alternative method is to change to each region (change-region) before backing up their contents to a separate OpenSimulator Region Archive (OAR) for each region. Then change the database backend and then reload the OARs in each region separately. The disadvantage of this is that it's a little laborious if you have many regions.

+if instance has several regions do not forget to change the console to the correct one:
-You can use the "command-script" feature of OpenSim.exe to semi-automate this. E.g., create a file in your "bin" directory, called something like "dobackup", which contains the necessary commands, for example:
+  change-region Private Hell
+  load oar HellIsland-021522.oar
- change-region My Island 1
-  save-oar MI1
- change-region My Island 2
- save-oar MI2
-  change-region Another Region
-  save-oar AR
- change-region root
-−
-This can be run from OpenSim.exe by typing "command-script" followed by the name you gave the script (eg "dobackup"). Note that this will overwrite the previous backup of the same name.
-−
-Note that using a save and reload via the OAR mechanism would not normally migrate your avatar inventories (you would need to rez everything out to the region, convert the data base, and then derez them again to your inventory).
