<br>Hi, thanks all for the replies.<br><br>If I can take advantage of
your expertise in this field, how would you handle this scenario?<br><br>Each
installation is upgraded on it's own without any specific order.
Upgrading all the three plants at once is not an option, so schemas
sometimes will be slightly different.<br><br>I'm considering to use a
message exchange like this<br><br><table="aaa" op=insert><br><column
name=""/><br>...<br><br>and then process each message in a custom
"apply" method custom written for each slave plant. But I fee a LOT like
I'm reinventing the wheel.<br><br>I cannot use any complex tool for
data migration because there is not, nor there will be, the expertise
for it and 99% of the differences should be trivial.<br><br>For very
complex schema changes I think some different strategy coud be
evaluated. In these cases I think a "data-migration only" upgrade could
be considered.<br><br><br><br>Thanks, bye<br><br>Lorenzo<br><br> <br>
