Specifically, the database schema CAN and DOES change between different versions of Rivendell; meaning that the update method that worked perfectly three months ago could end up NUKING YOUR DATABASE next time around. A much better and safer method for making these sorts of site-specific bulk changes is to write a script that uses Rivendell’s WebAPI. See: http://opsguide.rivendellaudio.org/apis/web_api.pdf The Web API is a documented, public and above all stable interface; using it will allow you to write scripts that won’t break across different versions of Rivendell. N.B. — If you insist on writing changes directly to the DB, be sure that you have a known good backup of it first. The sanity and gray hair (not to mention job) that you save may be your own.
