Actually you don't need to create/delete/merge the store database when you want to upgrade your zen cart version. Just run your-store.com/zc_install and follow the database upgrade instructions.

Re: database upgrade password problem
Actually, yes, you do, if you're following the published upgrade procedures correctly, since they involve setting up a second database, installing a clean new ZC, which creates empty tables, and then importing the old data and running the database-upgrade step.

Re: database upgrade password problem
Thanks!
Does it mean that the direct database upgrade won't work? (Of course the back up is always available)

Re: database upgrade password problem
What it means is that you're not following official instructions. Thus you're throwing caution to the wind. And in such cases it's dangerous to be making suggestions to others when they're contrary to the recommended method as posted by the Zen Cart developers.
