Is Eden mysql database backwards compatible with Dharma? - wizbang - 2011-10-02

With the recent news of Eden going into "soft-freeze" I experimented with my install using a copy of my centralised mysql database and noticed that when I ran up the latest Eden release it made a lot of changes to the database.

Does anyone know if these changes are backwards compatible i.e. can I run a single database with some PC's running Dharma and some running Eden?
Rather than running 2 databases as I have at the moment.

I didn't plough through all the changes that Eden made, but most seemed to be adding extra columns.

Thanks.

Simple answer: no
Not compatible.

Thanks for that. I'll stop experimenting and just wait until I'm confident enough to move all my media stations to Eden.
