Help with converting flatfile to SQL

[WillFTW]

Currently I am in the process of developing a Soup KitPvP server, Although mid-way through making the plugin I realized how inefficient flatfiles are and how MySQL would allow more efficiency. Please help me figure out how to use SQL!

 

[Fire]

1. Stop the server.
2. Use this to turn the flat file into a mysql database file: https://dbconvert.com/sqlite/mysql/
3. Import the sql file.
4. Setup the plugin config to use mysql.
5 Start the server again.

Edit: Didnt fully read, however thats how you change an existing database
