UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Time of Upgrade from 6.3.1 to 6.4.2

I'm wondering how much time I need to allow to do the upgrade between 6.3.1 and 6.4.2. I have a very active forum and there are around 700,000 posts and what I am really asking is how long I should expect the altertables to take?

Thanks,

Chuck Weinstock

We can't really give a good time estimate since the actual time really depends on your server specs. There are some pretty large database alterations that take place so it's definitely going to take several minutes at least with the amount of posts you have and could be looking between 10-20 even.

If you have access to something like phpmyadmin you can make sure it's still doing it's thing by showing the processlist even if the browser times out.

Thanks. I have a pretty powerful server but was worried because it
took several hours when I transferred the entire database to a new
server. Altering tables isn't as bad as a transfer but...
