Database Templates

RS-Warehouse includes a db-files-templates folder inside the plugin folder.

This folder contains two database templates:

• empty_database.db
• populated_database.db

These files can be used to quickly replace the active Warehouse database.

---

Populated Database

The populated_database.db file is the default database included with RS-Warehouse. It contains the preconfigured categories and items included with the plugin. This database is automatically used as the starting database when RS-Warehouse is installed for the first time.

---

Empty Database

The empty_database.db file is a completely empty Warehouse database.

It contains:

• Zero categories
• Zero items

This can be used if you want to start with a completely blank Warehouse and create your own category and item organization from scratch.

Using a Database Template

To replace the active Warehouse database with one of the templates:

1. Stop the server or disable/reload the plugin.

2. Open:

   plugins/RS-Warehouse/db-files-templates/

3. Choose the database template you want to use:

   • populated_database.db
   • empty_database.db

4. Make a copy of the selected file.

5. Rename the copied file to:

   database.db

6. Copy it into:

   plugins/RS-Warehouse/

7. Overwrite the existing database.db file.

8. Reload the RS-Warehouse plugin.

The selected database template will now become the active Warehouse database.

WARNING: Replacing database.db will replace your current Warehouse categories, items, and stored database information. Make a backup of your existing database.db before replacing it if you may want to restore it later.
