Hello

The ElevateDB manager option to reverse-engineer a database has the upgrade
option
but when I want to select the old database for upgrading the combobox is
empty.

What are the steps for creating an upgrade script for an old database to a
new one
using the reverse-engineer option?

Thanks Sorin

You need to have at least two databases - one for the old version of the
database, and one for the new version of the database.  You run the
reverse-engineering on the old (or source) database, and specify the new (or
target) database as the target database in the reverse-engineering upgrade
options.  The script that is generated will upgrade the old source version
of the database to the new target version of the database.
