I don't understand the question.  Basically, for an upgrade, you should 
let MythTV 0.23-fixes upgrade your 0.22-fixes database to the proper 
schema version.  If you're moving your database from one distro install 
to another (or upgrading MySQL server), you should do a full restore of 
a 0.22-fixes database /before/ running any MythTV programs and use 
mythtv-setup (preferred, or mythbackend for the lazy people who are 
feeling lucky) to automatically upgrade it to the 0.23-fixes schema.

There's /absolutely/ no reason to do a partial restore of your database 
unless you've actually broken the database schema.  A partial restore 
can never be used across differing schema versions.
