Hints & Tricks

Deleting prims in unusual places

Occaisionally, one ends up with one or more prims that go to negative co-ordinates and would like to delete them. Here is one possible solution to that problem.

From a sqlite3 prompt or a mysql prompt, one can manipulate OpenSim.db or the mysql datastore directly:

select from prims where PositionX<"0";
delete from prims where PositionX<"0";
select count(*) from prims;
select from prims where PositionY<"0";
delete from prims where PositionY<"0";
select count(*) from prims;
select from prims where PositionZ<"0";
delete from prims where PositionZ<"0";
select count(*) from prims;

Deleting a few recently created prims

Occaisionally, one ends up with one or more prims that one would like to delete on a region but doesnt know where they are. Here is one possible solution to that problem.

Given the site, http://epochconverter.com, one can enter a human date and get a binary such as an epoch. For instance, 4/21/2008 19:00:34GMT is "1208797234"

Then, from a sqlite3 prompt or a mysql prompt, one can do:

select CreationDate from prims where CreationDate>"1208797234";
delete from prims where CreationDate>"1208797234";
