• Database creation
• Database population
• Database upgrading
• Having two databases installed to support two DLXS versions

Database creation

Database creation is described in the MySQL database configuration documentation.

Database population

Database population is discussed in the installation documentation.

Database upgrading

If you are installing DLXS for the first time, database upgrading is not an issue.

If you have a Release "N" DLXS installation, an upgrade utility called upgrade_N_N+1 in $DLXSROOT/bin/db can be used to update your version "N" database to version "N+1". See documentation on database upgrading for complete instructions.

Having two database installed to support two DLXS versions

Be aware of the following:

• Version 8 of DLXS uses version 1 of the database.
• Version 9 of DLXS uses version 2 of the database
• Version 10 of DLXS uses version 3 of the database.
• Version 11, 11a of DLXS uses version 4 of the database.
• Version 12, 12a, 12b of DLXS uses version 5 of the database.
• Version 13 of DLXS uses version 6 of the database.

Therefore, if you have version 12 of DLXS and have installed version 13 of DLXS, you will need to get a database version 6 set up to use with your DLXS version 13 installation.
