Technical upgrade question

jjhems

I haven't performed many technical upgrades (where you upgrade the software, but leave the database objects intact), and I wonder what the exact difference is between:

a. Opening the database with the new version of the software, and
b. restoring a backup into a empty database that was created with the new version

Besides the obvious difference in the time it takes to perform both actions

Thanx...

I don't think there is any difference between those two, except the one that you mentioned...

When you do a backup, nav does additional checks on the data.
