Just back up your database (and, if necessary, restore it on the new 
hardware/new OS install, and ensure your hostname and IP addresses are 
all the same as before the upgrade), and start mythtv-setup and it will 
upgrade the database for you.

No scripts required.  I think he was talking about what you would have 
to do in the worst-case scenario, in the event your database is 
corrupt--a bridge we can cross if it happens to you.  :)
