Re: Database migration in Base

sorry for the second post - but I should correct something I said. Just realized; about today's build not starting, user error! I downloaded the wrong daily build files ;- ( 32 but vs 64 bit), looks like I need to wait a bit longer for the 64 bit Linux build to finish. On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at
