Hi there,
I host on a cloud provider, which gives me some flexibility regarding testing database changes and disruptive Piwik changes.
I recently looked into upgrading our instance of Piwik and found that the DB upgrade process takes about 6.5 hours to do, which is acceptable for me in that I can do this over night, but it is quite lengthy and it does fail halfway through requring me to manually delete a table before it will continue.
I then looked into whether we could turn off 'trigger from the browser' and set up auto archiving as we have somewhere just under 1000 tracked websites; I can't load All Websites in Piwik 1.1.1 as it hits the PHP script timeout limit, and it is suggested to turn this off and run the auto archiver from cron. This script takes about a week to run the first time, and it does fail too, so I wondering if I can get the processing done and then import the tables into the old DB once I have updated it?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
Edit: DB size is 19GB
