OK folks.. took a heck of a lot longer than I thought it would to migrate over from an SQL DB of 6.34 to 7.5, but its mainly my fault because I have many added fields in more than one table.. soo...
Just wanted to throw a "hats off" to the people (or guy) who wrote up all those queries to make the migration possible!
The only thing that bothered me is the encrypt password script.. heh.. in big bold letters "Don't run the script more than once!"...
...yet... the button says something like "click to process 100 at a time"...
LOL.. ok.. so.. run it once only.. but.. process only a 100 at a time.. hmm.. yeah ok.. so I backed up the DB anyways... seems like its obviously necessary to refresh the page and click the button until the (VERY VERY slow) script has gone through them all...
I only had about 700 to do.. but man.. on a dual PIII@500Mhz server it sure took a while.. :-/
Anyways.. unless someone else can point out a reason why NOT to run that script repeatedly, I say.. to get all your passwords updated, ITS THE ONLY WAY! :)
Also a big thumbs up to Borg (Bruce?) for all his hard work.. I skipped right over everything since 6.34.. and whoa.. 7.5 is awesome!
I still have all the options to configure, but, I've implemented a couple mods so far, and I'm using that bluish invision skin.. looks fantastic IMO.. (and yet another pat on the back to whomever the author of that skin is.. its so hard to keep track of everyone who contributed here)..
Anyways, if anyone has any WWF SQL upgrades giving them a hassle, you have a new contact for help.. :)
