I'm trying to get a copy of Umbraco upgraded from 7.3 to 8+.
The errors are all around the 8.0 step, and seem to point at syntax errors in the SQL, specifically looking for non-existant tables and sending mySQL syntax instead of SQL syntax.
These must be scripted somewhere. but for the life of me I can't find any file containing any?
So, I think you misunderstand what I'm saying.
The v8 step is just the example - indeed I'm amazed that anyone have ever managed to get from 7 to 8 given the multiple stones in the road that are not documented anywhere.
What I'm referring to is that if the
Umbraco.Core.ConfigurationStatus
key is blank, Umbraco assumes you are starting from a basic version and throws a very different sequence of instructions to a simple single version update. Those instructions must be somewhere.
How/Where is an Umbraco update/upgrade scripted?

Migrating from 7 to 8 is not straight forward. There are a lot of changes and V8 is a total different database, so there's no "script" for this.
You have few steps you need to take before you upgrade. For example, you need to update the obsolete data types, etc. etc.
