[mythtv-users] import an old sql DB into the new format on exisiting 0.19 install

[Raphael Pooser]

I asked this question in the "0.19 ubuntu packages" thread, but it seems 
that it's a little too old now to expect a response.
My question is, could it be possible to get an old database from say 
0.17 or 0.18 version into the 0.19 DB after upgrading?  I went ahead and 
installed 0.19 from scratch on a new system, so I have my backup from my 
old mythconverg db, but since the install was new, there was no 
preexisting mythconverg db when I installed 0.19.  So, is it possible to 
get the program info from my old db into the new one.  Or perhaps I 
should uninstall myth, drop the mythconverg db, restore my backup db 
into sql and then reinstall 0.19...?  Then when I reinstall mythtv it 
should find my old mythconverg db already existing an upgrade it to the 
new format.  If that's the best route to I'll do that.
The reason I'm doing it this way is because I took this time to do a 
dist upgrade as well as a few hardware upgrades at the same time as 
upgrading to 0.19.  It was easier to install the distro and myth from 
scratch (believe it or not) than to try and upgrade my distro and then myth.
