A database upgrade has taken place again and I managed to import an old export.xml and keep my old recordings. I'm using MySQL as there are better tools for backup/restore than in SQl Server as far as I'm concerned.

Firstly, backup the TvLibrary DB using MySQL Administrator (you only need to do this if you want to keep your old recordings).

Make sure you have an export.xml from a previous svn. Install the latest SVN and run the TVServer Configuration and let it nuke your DB.

Open you export.xml in notepad or similar and use the replace all function to replace:

FreeToAir="True">

With:

FreeToAir="True" DisplayName="channel">

And:

FreeToAir="False">

With:

FreeToAir="False" DisplayName="channel">

Now use the import tool in the TVServer configuration tool. You'll notice that all the channels are called "channel", not good. To fix this you'll need to use the MySQL Query Browser or the SQL Server admin tool to run the following sql on the TvLibrary db:

update channel set displayname = name

Restart the TVServer configuration tool and you should not have your channels and schedules back. I had to remap my cards to the channels, but this is a dodle compared to re-scanning everything.

To finish off and get your recordings back, open MySQL administrator and click the restore option on the left.
Click "Open a backup file" and open the backup you made at the start.
Click the "Restore Content" tab and then click "Analyze Backup File Content".
Close the dialogue once it has finished and uncheck every table apart from "recording" (quick way is to click TvLibrary at the top, then click recording )
Now click Start Restore

And that is it Your back to where you started from. Don't know if anyone knows SQL Server well enough to explain how to keep the recordings if your using that DB?

upgrading from previous tv-server with mysql

Hi,

Still the:
Unable to upgrade database: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: stream

After you click ok it will proceed to ask if I wanna upgrade the db. Then it's "ok" as in
you get a fresh start (empty db).

Also when export.xml format changes and there's attributes added the import shouldn't fail.. instead it
should default to some safe default values. Or atleast ask user if he really wants to import with missing info.

Database Upgrade

Hello,

how does TVEngineV3 detect that a database upgrade is needed?

As I see it, the only difference is the new column "DisplayName" in table "Channel".

It is easy for me to add and populate that using SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Problem is, I do not know, how I can "tell" TVEngine that no upgrade is needed.

Where is that information stored?

Best regards,
Markus

1. Use the last snapshot (the bug should be already solved)
2. SELET versionNumber FROM version (the actual version number is 30. That is what SetupTV looks for)
