Aren't all BASE upgrades designed to be done on top of an existing database? I've done several without nuking the db.
Just run bin/updatedb.sh and bin/updateindexes.sh before using the new version. On a related note (I will probably be shot for not using a new subject line), why does bin/updatedb.sh say something like "creating database" or "creating tables" when in fact it isn't (or at least I hope not). cheers, Bob.
