ovdb_upgrade(8)
NAME
  ovdb_upgrade - Perform any needed upgrades on the ovdb database

SYNOPSYS
  ovdb_upgrade

DESCRIPTION
  The ovdb_upgrade command is be used to upgrade the ovdb database when
  migrating to a newer version of the BerkeleyDB library (in which there is a
  change in BerkeleyDB's internal db format).

  The upgrade is done in-place, and is not reversable.

  Here is an example procedure to upgrade a database created with BerkeleyDB
  2.x to use BerkeleyDB 3.x:

  1   Install BerkeleyDB 3.x

  2   Do a `make clean' in the INN source tree

  3   If BerkeleyDB 3.x is installed into a different path than the 2.x
      version, run configure again, specifying the new path.  For example:
      `./configure --with-berkeleydb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.x	[... other
      options]'

  4   Shut down INN (e.g., with `rc.news stop').  Be sure to kill all nnrpds
      as well.

  5   Do a `make update' to build INN with the new BerkeleyDB version and
      install the new binaries.

  6   Run `ovdb_upgrade' as the news user.

  7   Start INN with `rc.news'
