    Default ZC 1.5.4 Database Changes Info Sought

    Did the database update to upgrade from ZC 1.5.3 to ZC 1.5.4 change the structure of any existing tables? If so which tables? Where there database changes from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3? If so was the table structure of any existing tables changed? If so, which tables? Is this information available elsewhere? If so, where?

    Thanks!

    Dave

    The list of changes are captured in the docs directory of the downloaded package. If the content does not address your specific questions, it is always possible to look at the sql statements that perform the upgrades to evaluate the individual changes... (Or yes someone who has done this already or has the time to list them could do so here.)

    One may ask though, what is the reason to know? The upgrade package addresses the changes needed...

    Exactly. zc_install already takes care of preserving all the data and the structure.

    There are no secrets ... it's all outlined in the .sql files in the zc_install directory.
    But, in the interest of understanding how best to explain future version changes, I'm VERY INTERESTED in understanding WHY you're asking what the schema changes are.
    (I usually find that people are asking because they think they need to manually make all those changes themselves, and are completely missing the point of the zc_install tool which does the schema updates and preserves all the data automatically. If that's not your situation, then I'd really like to understand where you're coming from when asking ... so the best answer can be given to the real question behind your question ;) )
