DB/CharSections

This table defines the textures for the different types of character-variations that involve a texture only. These are hair, beards, the base skin etc.

Structure

Column	Field	Type	Notes
1	ID	Integer
2	Race	iRefID
3	Gender	Boolean	Male = 0, female = 1.
4	GeneralType	Integer	See below.
5	Texture1	String
6	Texture2	String
7	Texture3	String
8	Flags	Integer	See Below
9	Type	Integer
10	Variation	Integer	These are the variations / colors of the Type.

It seems to have been reordered in WotLK. The Type and Variation fields have been in front of the textures before.
