before I update the TV engine, I read through recent TVengine SVN threads to see if there has been any database changes. This gives me an idea of what I am in for.Usually I also find someone has posted a fix to recreate my existing database, as has happened this time.Sure, it takes me a little longer but I'd rather my time was slightly taken up than one of the dev's has to spend time coding something new when they could be doing other stuff.Even at the point where the error message about the database is displayed, I believe it is still possible to roll back. Otherwise, maybe just make a backup of the database before you upgrade. I've never bothered with this before though.This isn't a smug "it's opensource" type of reply, just stating that there are other possibilities as well.
