Hi
I'm preparing to upgrade 1.3.9h to 1.5.1. I have the site mirrired (same version) and I have a clean install of 1.5.1. IMHO our customizations are too extensive to make a file merge feasible. Most of our mods make database changes and all have new versions of the files, so upgrading doesn't seem to make much sense. I'd rather just re-install everything and go with the new cart.
Except that I need to retain customers and orders (and products so the orders will make sense). If I update the database on the mirror, can I move those tables into the 1.5.1 cart?
These are the tables I'd like to retain. Will thes tables be compatible after the db upgrade?
coupons (6 tables)
customers
customers_info
(skipping the _basket tables)
ezpages
banners (2 tables)
products
products_description
manufacturers (2 tables)
orders
orders_products
orders_status (2 tables)
orders_total
These are most of the mods we have installed. All except WishList are new versions. So all of the tables and configs they have in the old version would just be overwritten or deleted the new versions.
