Smart Database Initialization Nord Crafting includes a database initializer and migration system. First start When automatic creation is enabled, the resource: Waits for oxmysql. Ensures the settings table exists. Creates required Crafting tables. Inserts default data where required. Runs migrations. Stores the schema version. Writes local state to server/db_state.json. Smart restart behavior server/db_state.json stores the current schema version. When the local state and database are already current, Crafting can skip unnecessary heavy CREATE/ALTER work on normal restarts. Manual SQL A full SQL file remains available at: install/sql.sql Use it when your deployment policy requires manual schema management. Readiness export local ready = exports['nord_crafting']:IsNordDBReady() This is useful for another server resource that must wait for Crafting's database layer before calling database-backed APIs.
