Reloading databases.cfg

Is there a way to make the server reload the databases.cfg without restarting the server?

Biggest necro-bump ever. But is this possible to do this on-command. Reloading the map for me doesn't seem to have an effect on it. Looking to avoid restarting the server if possible.

You could try reloading the sql extension.

Already running connections won't get shutdown and restarted using new information from the databases.cfg. You have to reload your plugin as well, to get it connect with the changed databases.cfg config after mapchange. I wouldn't suggest unloading one of the SQL extensions just now..

For those people ending up here by googling, there is an actual command now:

PHP Code:


			
sm_reload_databases
