There is a major change in the databases when moving from v7 to v8.

The migrations fail to complete the conversion of the databases for at the moment.

I have concluded that at the moment the code will only make a new database and not be able to migrate a database.

Is that correct?

Should I be waiting for v8.0.1?

Should I be trying something different?

Has anyone upgraded an MSSQL Database yet?

Here is why I think that:

The tables seem to be being updated from having a prefix of cms to umbraco. For example cmsPropertyData to umbracoPropertyData and cmsContentType to umbracoContentType.

I cannot find the code that changes the cmsContentType table to umbracoContentType and have a couple of spots that execute sql statements that work on sqlce and not on mssql.

I'm not sure how to proceed but I have been building a sql script that gets me through but i think i a must be missing something or this is just not yet complete. I still have a bunch of cms prefixed tables and the migration is trying to update the umbraco tables.

Create a new working v8.0.0 site on a new mssql 2014 db.

Checkout UmbracoCms repo at tag release-8.0.0 and update VariantsMigration.cs on line 52 by removing the word COLUMN from the sql statement as shown below

Compile UmbracoCms repo.

Copy Umbraco.Core dll over to the new v8 running site.

Restore a copy of a working and fully populated 7.13.1 db over the newly created v8.0.0 db

Update the cms version in the web.config to 7.13.1

delete the log file

reset iis

run the upgrade by visiting the v8 site

I have had to recompile v8 Umbraco.Core to fix up some of the SQLCE commands to be more MSSQL.

Below is the sql statement that I have to run to reset the database which includes removing the audit trail but removes a couple of constraints which fail along the way. I have removed the password update so make sure you replace the password hash with your own.
