The EVE Database

EVE needs a database running behind the scenes on the server to maintain and use all information needed for gameplay. CCP uses MSSQL to run their database but it is not free so EVEmu uses MySQL. Fortunately for us, many out of game tools use MySQL too so there are publicly available MySQL conversions of the CCP Static Data Dump that is released in MSSQL format. We primarily get these MySQL conversions from the EVE Developer Network - Static Data Dump History page. Instructions on how to build the database can be found on our Build_Database page.

EVEmu Database Tools

The EVEmu Database is quite extensive and difficult to navigate or work with, so the EVEmu team has developed some tools to use that make this job easier. There was a EVEmu_Control_Panel created to help make seeding the market, editing/deleting/adding in-game item types, creating/editing/deleting characters and accounts, etc adding asteroid fields and other features more convenient for developers wishing to populate their universe.

EVEmu Database Layout

The Eve Online Database is extremely large and complex. The following is a visual representation of the public data CCP has released. This is based from an older version of the database and no longer applies to modern iterations. The EVEmu Database has more tables and more relationships than displayed here.

Ideas for the Future

• It would speed up DB queries quite a bit if we split the entity and entity_attributes tables into multiple pairs for each major object type in the game. For example, we could have a pair of these tables that only holds ships and drones called entity_ships and entity_ships_attributes. Another pair could exist for just POS structures called entity_structures and entity_structures_attributes. Here is a comprehensive, although probably incomplete, list of the different groups requiring their own pair of these two tables:
  • Characters and Clones
  • Ships and Drones
  • Modules and Charges
  • Asteroids
  • Celestial objects
  • Structures
  • Deployables
  • Cargo Containers
  • Stations (player and NPC)
  • Corp items

Possible Structure layout

entity_ships entity_ship_attributes

• Ships 6
• Drones 18

entity_items entity_items_attributes

• material 4
• blueprint 9
• ancient relics 34
• reaction 24
• commodity 17

entity_modules entity_modules_attributes

• module 7
• charges 8
• subsystem 32
• decrypters 35

entity_structure entity_structure_attributes

• structure 23
• deployable 22
• station 3

The addition of a table for redeemable items. Items that are 'gifted' to players that may be allocated to a character prior to character selection (but may also be done in game) Fields may include (but not limited to)

AccountID, typeID, Quantity, Timegiven, TimeStop

AccountID - The account with the item(s) in question

typeID - the typeID of the item

Quantity - The quantity avaliable

Timegiven - The time the item(s) were given to the player

TimeElapse- The time the item(s) will be removed from redemption.

TODO: Describe each table that is added by EVEmu, its fields and what it's used for

• accountApi
• dgmEffectsInfo
• dgmEffectsActions
• dgmShipBonusModifiers
• dgmSkillBonusModifiers
• dgmImplantBonusModifiers

EVEmu Database Tables

This page would be huge if all tables were listed and their details of purpose, use, and fields were explained on this page, so for now, only the most important tables critical for server operations will be explained here.

Important Interesting Tables

• account - this table lists each account (not characters, see the entity table below), their user id and password (encrypted)

Miscellaneous Info

Skill Points - Clone Grades

From dgmtypeattributes table:

skillPointsSaved - "Amount of skill points saved by clone"

maxJumpClones

hasCloneJumpSlots

allowsCloneJumpsWhenActive

canReceiveCloneJumps

jumpClonesLeft

The first one must be for clone grade. I tried looking for something that stored the skill points accrued by each character, but i bet it doesn't exist and let me explain why: each skill that each character has injected and trained shows up in the entity table with the ownerID of that character, each one of those skills has two entries in the entity_attributes table under its itemID from the entity table: skillPoints and skillLevel. So, the client can figure out how many total skill points are trained if it has the list of skills and the points trained for each. This must mean that the first field in the list above has to be the skill points saved for whichever clone grade you've purchased using station medical services.

Also, if you sort your entity table by ownerID ascending, you should see your primary character entry with an ownerID equal to your accountID in the account table.
