Default What does it mean to edit the database?

Ok, Im just a bit confused about a few pieces of information.

Pretty much all of the hacks I have installed came with an install file of some kind.

Im trying to add on to my board and Im running into hacks without the install files that just have install information.

For example, this are the directions for the V3arcadecategories hack:

"Database Modification
=====================
CREATE TABLE `gamescat` (
`categoryID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`categorytitle` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`categorydescr` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`categoryID`)
) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='v3Arcade Game Categories' AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (1, 'General', 'General Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (2, 'Sports', 'Sports Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (3, 'Casino', 'Casino Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (4, 'Shooters', 'Shooters Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (5, 'Classics', 'Classic Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (6, 'Action', 'Action Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (7, 'Puzzle', 'Puzzle Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (8, 'Skill', 'Skill Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (9, 'Popular', 'Popular Games Descr');
INSERT INTO `gamescat` VALUES (10, 'Misc', 'Misc Games Descr');

ALTER TABLE `games` ADD `categoryID` INT( 11 ) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL ;"

Now what exactly is that for, where do I put it and where do I find it?

If its for queries, how do I use the execute queries option in the AdminCP with this?

Im just a bit confused as this is a new are for me.

Yes these are queries.

Easiest would be to run the from your server panel's phpMyAdmin of you have that.

Otherwise you will have to run each line (a line is ended by a semi-colon ';') through the admincp queriy tool. To be able to use that, you will have to add access for your userid to this tool in the includes/config.php
