+1, Taher. I will wait for your comment on Jacques question, we already have a document but I think the automated script that can be implemented here. Liquidbase and flyway seem to be promising solutions!
One question always comes to my mind: Can we say that automated scripts will support the migration from last two or at max three known releases? I think we should not put the effort in building the migration script that could migrate ofbiz earlier version(Let's say Ofbiz 10 or 9 or 4) to the latest version. Please share your thoughts on this.
