Hi Knut, Thanks for the information. The system was set up with Postgres. It only has one custom data entry form now. It was set up with facilities and provinces but not much else. However, a year's worth of historical data was imported into the system from another database and some work remains to clean up that import.
Is there some documentation of the changes to the DB across versions? I think the DXF export/import process would probably be best. On a related note, most systems seem to use MySQL or Postgres but the H2 database seems quite capable and has good performance at the scale we anticipate (328 facilities monthly reporting) so any caveats if we decide to stay with H2? All the best, Mark On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 1:14 PM, Knut Staring <knu...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 10:02 PM, Mark Spohr <mhsp...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I am working on a system which was originally set up with version 2.0.4 >> and wish to install the latest (2.4) . >> Is there anything that needs to be done to upgrade the data for the new >> version?
