I would like (working offline developing new options) to update the clients database, but without erasing the information that his database has due to the use of the intranet/web site (eg. forums)

Please can someone point out the tables within the database taht should be updated and the ones that should not be touched.

If this is not the solution, please tell me what to do.

thanks!

You should use the database update scripts which are provided with newer eZ publish versions.
See http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/installation/upgrading/upgrading_ez_publish_from_3_a_b_to_3_x_y

And you can use the database diff tool after updating to check if it was successful... ;)

Thanks but that was not my question... (Thanks anyway))

I am not upgrading no a new ez version... within the same version 3.4 y have my development site (offline) and the client's site (production)...

The client’s site is doing well and the client uses it every day... in the meantime I keep adding new links, sections, etc, to the development site (offline)...

At the moment of updating (once I test that everything is doing fine) I upgrade all the files of ez publish to the server...

BUT!!!

When it comes to the data base I should not erase the old data base and copy the new one because I erase data that has been posted to the database by the client itself (e.g. forums etc)... so only some tables should be updated...

Does somebody now wish ones should I update?

Any IDEAS?

For the future, I would recommend that you perform major changes on the client's database directly and then import that db to your development environment.

For now... it's no good idea to update some tables of the database, as this will probably result in an inconsistent database.

Try to use packages for content class and content object export/ import.

Sections, roles etc. have to be created manually though.

Maybe there are better ideas around here... ;)
