Description of problem: 2.17 schema not compatible with 2.15 running on rhdb 2.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.17 How reproducible: Only have done it once (see below). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install rh pro 8.0. 2. Install rhdb 2.1. 3. Install rh bugzilla 2.15 4. Enter some bugs. 5. Install rh bugzilla 2.17 6. Run pgsetup.pl 7. Try to enter or view bugs. Actual results: Errors are thrown by the SQL code because of missing id for such tables as components, products, etc. My analysis: rhdb 2.1 basically is postgresql 7.2.3 and I need 7.3 in order to add such things as a "serial primary key." They can only be applied to a not null int, which can't be added directly, can't be altered from a plain int, since you can't alter it "set not null." So, I am about to uninstall rhdb 2.1 and install postgres 7.3. To see if I can hammer the schema into line. Expected results: Would have preferred that pgsetup.pl had worked. Perhaps it will when I install postgresql 7.3 rpm's. Additional info:
I'm currently running version 2.17.1. To accomplish this, I (a) upgraded to postgresql 7.3.2, (b) added new tables to the bugs database, (c) altered half a dozen existing ones (adding columns and altering values), (d) added expanded permissions to several tables and sequences. This process took several hours. I would have preferred that pgsetup.pl have done all of this upgrading for me. If you like, if it will aid in improving pgsetup, I can email you some of the queries I used in (c) and (d). Let me know.
Red Hat's current Bugzilla version is 2.18. I am moving all older open bugs to this version. Any bugs against the older versions will need to be verified that they are still bugs. This will help me also to sort them better.
