  Hi.
 
  I am using www 7.96 MSSQL version. I am just curious about this. If I will upgrade my forum to 8.0, should I do any changes from my sql database?(For example inserting new tables ) Or 8.0 version is completely integrity with the old forum database?

Version 8 uses a different database, so you would need to go through the 'Version History' file to make the changes to your database.

However, there will be more database changes before version 8 final is released, when a n upgrade tool will also be made available.

The present beta version is not stable and is for testing only.

There is no Beta for the convertor tool?

This will help us debug on our own database...

Not at the moment because it has not been written yet

Also I'm trying to discourage people attempting to use beta software on production sites, as there will be bugs, and upgrade to the full version maybe difficult, if not impossible.

Or you can write one by yourself, it's not too difficult. All changes to the database have been explained here http://webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/Version%20History8.txt by -boRg-
