FCB-Mo Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Are IPS going to provide a tool which cleans up the database from all the redundant clutter from IPB 2.x mods so that we have a fresh database for IPB 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct2·com Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 How do you expect them to know what mods you have installed? And if you have installed mods. how do you expect them to know which ones you want to keep, and which ones you want to delete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme S. Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 How do you expect them to know what mods you have installed? And if you have installed mods. how do you expect them to know which ones you want to keep, and which ones you want to delete? That's not exactly what he meant. Basically, it would be nice to have a tool that essentially takes all the original tables, etc and removes everything that shouldn't be there by default. So the tool just takes what is known, and leaves everything that isn't known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stetye Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 That would be a good tool to have, could do with something like that being made up ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 We're not intending to provide one I don't think, but there is a third-party one available which I believe the author has stated will be upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 As far as I know, Michael will be updating his Database tool. I've used it on 2.3.x and its great :cool: , although given the nature of it its not something you can just use without taking care. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct2·com Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Never tried it but.... http://adamspiers.org/computing/mysqldiff/ You will need root access and to be Perl/CPAN literate to install it. See the example:$ mysqldiff --debug 4 db:foo --host2=remote.host.com --password=secret bar Now if InVision were kind enough to provide a remote host with a read-only user and password onto a vanilla IPB database .....
