Anyone have any tips for minimizing downtime when upgrading? So far
we have done upgrades during scheduled downtimes. Now we are getting
to the point where the time required for a standard dump/restore is
just too long. What have others done when downtime is critical? The
only solution we have been able to come up with is to migrate the data
on a per user basis to a new database server. Each user is a
merchant, and the data in the database is order data. Migrating one
merchant at a time will keep the downtime per merchant limited to just
the time it takes to migrate the data for that merchant, which is
acceptable.
Any other ideas?
