Annotation of 43BSD/ingres/CONVERT, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: The new ingres version 8 system has a number of changes and enhancments
        !             2: over the version 7 system. However, the databases that were made with
        !             3: the old system are NOT compatible with the new system. However, there
        !             4: exists a program that will convert version 7 databases into version 8
        !             5: databases. You will need your 4.2 binaries to use the conversion
        !             6: utility. You should have moved your old bin directory to bin7 before
        !             7: this distribution tape was loaded. If not you will have to restore
        !             8: those binaries from your system dumps. Once the bin7 directory is in
        !             9: place, you should check that all the 'proctab7' files in the files
        !            10: directory has the line:
        !            11: DB:$P/bin
        !            12: changed to
        !            13: DB:$P/bin7
        !            14: 
        !            15: The system administrator should then do the following to convert all
        !            16: the databases.
        !            17: 
        !            18: % su ingres
        !            19: % cd ~ingres/data/base
        !            20: % mv READ_ME .READ_ME
        !            21: % foreach j (*)
        !            22:  ? ~ingres/bin/ingconv -s $j
        !            23:  ?end
        !            24: % mv .READ_ME READ_ME
        !            25: 
        !            26: That will convert all the normal databases on a machine.  However,
        !            27: ingconv does not work with indirect files. It is suggested you change
        !            28: them into symbolic links before running ingconv on them. If you don't
        !            29: know what an indirect file is, you probably aren't using them.
