An upgrade in the sense of the installation document (http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/doc/installation.html) is that a newer BASE 2.0 release is replacing an earlier BASE 2.0 release on a running server. This is NOT an upgrade of a BASE 1.2.x server to BASE 2.0.
When upgrading a live BASE 2.0 server with a newer release there is a known issue with PostgreSQL/Hibernate/BASE2.0. This issue makes upgrades between BASE 2.0 releases potentially unsafe. The problem is reported to the Hibernate developer team, and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. To perform a shift from BASE 1.2.x to BASE 2.0, a first time install of BASE 2.0 has to be performed, followed by an optional migration of data from BASE 1.2.17 to BASE 2.0.
