##inidb-2-extdb## This script is used for migrating an existing iniDB database to the extDB(MySQL) system.

It simply navigates through all the ini files on a user-specified directory, and converts them to SQL scripts:

   * serverobjects.sql
   * servervehicles.sql
   * playerinfo.sql
   * playersave.sql
   * playerstats.sql

The rules for parsing variable values are as follows (in order of evaluation):

• If the variable name is in the --ignored list, then ignore it
• If the variable name is in the --strings list, then coerce it into a String
• If the variable name is in the --numbers list, then coerce it into a Number, or set the value to 0
• If the variable name is in the --booleans list, then coerce it into a Boolean (false values are: "false", "0", "", "null", "nil")
• If it matches "-1.#IND", "-1.#INF", or NaN is treated as Number 0
• If it matches "nil", value is set to null
• If the value cab be parsed using JSON.parse, then use the parsed value
• Otherwise, coerce the value into a String

Options:
  --path       path to the directory that contains the database ini files       [required]
  --map-id     ID for the map. (1 for Stratis, 2 for Altis)                     [default: 2]

  --prefix     prefix value for filtering the list of ini files (e.g. "A3W_")   [default: ""]
  --strings    list of variable names that should be coerced into String type   [default: "ownerUID,UID"]
  --numbers    list of variable names that should be coerced into Number type   [default: ""]
  --booleans   list of variable names that should be coerced into Boolean type  [default: ""]
  --ignored    list of variable names that should be ignored                    [default: ""]
  --trace      trace the JSON content of the parsed ini files                   [default: false]
