             Summary: Database changes for VCL 2.4
                 Key: VCL-764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-764
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: database
    Affects Versions: 2.3.2
            Reporter: Andy Kurth
             Fix For: 2.4


This is a catchall issue to track database changes for VCL 2.4 which aren't 
directly related to another issue.

We really need to rework the database update process when upgrading VCL 
versions.  update-vcl.sql is difficult to manage and keep in sync with vcl.sql. 
 A single Perl script could be written which could be used for both fresh 
installs and updates.

For fresh installs, it could simply import the vcl.sql file.

For updates, it could query the existing database in order to determine if 
table definitions match vcl.sql and then execute an "alter" statement.  This 
will be much easier to code than the current stored procedures in 
update-vcl.sql.
