Upgrading database

[gemas]

Hello,

I'm migrating my domoticz instance to a new raspberry pi.
This runs the latest raspberry os and the latest version of domoticz.
On my old instance I'm running an older version of domoticz (4.10717).

But when I compare an empty database of version 2020.2 to the old one (V4.10717) I see some schema changes.
I copied the domoticz.db from the old instance to the new one.
After restarting the new domoticz instance, the migrated database doesn't get upgraded to the latest schema.

Do I need to do this manually with a command?

If you start domoticz with a previous version of the database it will be automatically converted to the version aligned with he domoticz build number. . No manual actions are needed.

First of all I have no intention to hijack this thread but the question I have is almost the same.
Does your answer also apply to version 3.6675?
I'm happy to say that I have version 3.6675 running continuously from feb 2017 with only a handful of reboots in the past 4 years. Unfortunately of luckily... I have to upgrade to a more recent version mainly because I want to make more use of dzVents.
Again sorry to hijack this tread but want to know if migrating from 3.6675 to the current version is doable.

Yes that should work the same.

As always; please make sure you have a recent and tested backup !

Sure, that is automated once a day. I'm a bit afraid of messing up my 8 somfy devices but will take the chance.

Thanks again for your help!
