Is that correct, I've done extensive DB testing and the logs I see show XBMC looking backwards from the version it hopes for and then doing a conversion from there for example directly from 78 to 89. SQL doesn't show the intermediate steps.

Thanks

You might be right, it's been a long time since I had to upgrade more than on db version.

Edit: Just checked the code and it will upgrade through each version although it may not output that it is doing so explicitly. It may not create the intermediate databases but will perform all the steps necessary to migrate from 79 to 89.
