Hi,
The only thing I would add to that is that it's possible to upgrade to SMW
1.8 while keeping the old database structure, by adding the following to
LocalSettings.php:
$smwgDefaultStore = 'SMWSQLStore2';
This isn't a good long-term solution, though, because support for SQLStore2
will presumably go away at some point. The ideal solution, as Nischay
noted, is to switch away from direct SQL calls altogether.
