Upgrading your DotshoppingCart

Hello Guys,

I see you have a new release out since Monday and was wondering how one would go about upgrading from DSC 1.0 installation to the new 1.1 version?
Is the 1.1 update purely a code change or have DB changes been made too?

Thanks,

 LK

Re: Upgrading your DotshoppingCart

V1.1 has DB changes as well. You brought up a very important user scenario, migrating from the old version. We have a set of our own SQL scripts which does for our hosted versions. Unfornately we didn't provide one for the open source edition. We will start providing the DB migration script starting from the next release.

To migrate your current DB, I would suggest you use VSTS DATA http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7DE00386-893D-4142-A778-992B69D482AD&displaylang=en.
1) install DSC 1.1 to a new DB
2) use VSTS DATA to compare DB schema between DSC1.1 and your old DB
3) bring the new DB schema change over to your old DB

Notice, back up your old DB in case some unkown issue happens.
