complex dance on every upgrade, anyhow.
i don't know about that, but for each upgrade to next version, i have an
upgrade script that upgrades all db tables.
Naturally, you can use as many tables on the side as
you want. What bugs
me is that S[E]R insists on reading the versions and quietly (well, sort
of. The -c option doesn't catch this and you only find out when it
doesn't come up after the restart command. At which point the clock is
ticking) dies.
i would be very easy to call a db version checking script together with
-c option check in the init file.
