Hi; There is one database change from 3.5.1 to 3.6.x which is content changes (not a schema change though ).. You can identify what changes are needed from the rt source, look in the etc/upgrade/ .. and for every directory > than your current version there will be changes to be made. The rt installation / README explains how to do these db changes .. yes its via scripts
