3 Database versioning
|
|
4 ===================
|

|
|
6 Orthanc stores the index of the DICOM instances as an embedded `SQLite
|
|
7 database <http://www.sqlite.org/>`_. The schema of this database has
|
|
8 evolved across the versions of Orthanc, making the database
|
|
9 incompatible between versions. This page clarifies which versions of
|
|
10 Orthanc are compatible with other versions.
|
|

|
|
12 Recent versions (post-0.3.1)
|
|
13 ----------------------------
|
|
14
|
|
15 Recent versions of Orthanc (starting 0.3.1, inclusive) include
|
|
16 information about the version of the DB schema in the SQLite table
|
|
17 ``GlobalProperties`` under the property with index 1. Versions with the
|
|
18 same version of the DB schema are compatible with each other.
|
|
19
|
|
20 When some version of Orthanc starts up, it checks whether it is
|
|
21 compatible with the database version. Orthanc will **fail to start if
|
|
22 it is not compatible with the database version**. Here is the
|
|
23 compatibility matrix:

36 *Note 1:* "u" means that an automatic upgrade of the DB schema is
|
|
37 available, without having to :ref:`migrate the database
|
|
38 <replication>`.
|
|
39
|
|
40 *Note 2:* Starting with Orthanc 0.9.5, the option ``--upgrade`` must be provided
|
|
41 on the command-line to allow Orthanc to upgrade the database schema.

44 Early versions (pre-0.3.0)
|
|
45 --------------------------
|
|
46
|
|
47 Early versions of Orthanc (up to version 0.3.0, inclusive) **do not
|
|
48 check the version** of the database schema. Because of this, these
|
|
49 early versions are incompatible with all the other versions. Pay
|
|
50 attention to the fact that no compatibility check is done in these
|
|
51 versions, which may result in a corrupted database.
