+
+This directory used to contain sql files for mysql that needed to be manually sourced in order to
+set up the database tables required by OpenSim.  This is no longer necessary - OpenSim now sets
+up these tables automatically.  All you need to do is 
+create the database that OpenSim is to use and set the configuration in bin/mysql_connection.ini
+(using bin/mysql_connection.ini.example as a reference).
+
+If you do need to source the mysql files manually, they can be found in OpenSim/Framework/Data.MySQL/Resources
+
+Please note that if you are setting up a MSSQL database, the appropriate mssql files do still need to be 
+executed manually.
