In light of the AMPATH project updating from 1.6.2 to 1.8.2 this past weekend, I want to propose a module to ease their and other large database owners' updates in the future. It would be a module that allows an admin to execute arbitrary changesets from a given file (like the war file they will be upgrading to).
The idea is to allow the long-running and backwards compatible changesets like index additions, column additions, etc, to be run while the old application version is still in use. This way they can run some changesets the few weekends before the big update to make sure that the big update is actually done during the scheduled downtime. See the project page: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/Execute+Database+Updates+Module+%28Design+Page%29 Ben _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-devel-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
