Hi All,

I'm currently working on a possible upgrade of an old DNN 5 system running on ASP 2.0 to a current up-to-date version of DNN 7. We have a lot of custom modules using custom database tables in our system, but in this upgrade we are going to re-organize our custom database schema. We are basically re-writing our site from scratch and just porting over the content of our database (re-organized into a different table structure).

This is fine for all of our custom tables, but I am just curious about how well this will work with our users account data? Have there been any major changes to the schema of the user account system between DNN 5 and DNN 7? Would anybody mind providing me with a data-schema changelist for the previous two major version releases of DNN, if such a thing exists?

Any help provided will be much appreciated. Thanks...

The easiest way to do this is to install a DNN 5.0 site and a DNN 7.0 site - and use a tool to RedGate SQL Compare to generate the schema difference. I think RedGate have a 14 day trial for their tool, but it is the tool I use to generate our SQL diff scripts.

Ah, yes. I probably should have thought of that. I'm familiar with the DNN 5 user account database structure, if I just create a DNN 7 install I can probably compare by hand. 

 

Thanks for your response.

There have been a couple of new fields added - LowerEmail, PasswordResetToken, PasswordResetExpiration, UpdatePassword  - and at some point dont recall when the PortialId field was also dropped

If you have consistently been using the API it access the user table then the api should sort out most issues for you.

It might be easier to upgrade DNN core framework and migrate tables for your own modules separately.
