There is no need to export and import the database, other than for backup and restore purposes. You run the upgrade SQL script on the database, and it will upgrade the database tables to be compatible with the DSpace code for that version. Run the upgrade script to upgrade it to 1.5, then run the next upgrade script to upgrade it to 1.6. Every major (1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc) version of DSpace comes with a database upgrade script.

I am confused about the database upgrading from 1.4 -> 1.5 -> 1.6. If I take the DB from 1.4 by exporting, and then import that for 1.6, then what is the problem? Dear Expert.

I am a newbie on using DSpace. I got a system with DSpace 1.4.2. I want to update it to latest version 1.6.2. All told that there is no direct way to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6. We have to upgrade the system to 1.5 first, then upgrade 1.5 to 1.6. Is it right? Or any other ways to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6 directly? Dear Expert.

Take a look in the manual of the version you are upgrading to (e.g. 1.6.2), and it will have a section about how to upgrade. Generally you need to update the database for each major version (1.4.2 -> 1.5 -> 1.6) and then just run the latest code. Hi Rupesh.

First perform the 1.4 to 1.5 database upgrade, then the 1.5 to 1.6 upgrade. With the code, that can be upgraded directly from 1.4 to 1.6. Thanks, Stuart Hi Barrie,
