Re: [Gramps-devel] comparing gramps databases

Thanks, Paul.
I think database differences report is what I need.
I haven't got round to installing gramps 5.0 yet; would you
recommend upgrading?

Re: [Gramps-devel] comparing gramps databases

Yes I do recommend upgrading. That way we can get lots more testing done on it. But be aware that it is considered beta-level software and probably still has some bugs. I think the bugs are probably about the same quantity and annoyance as is in the currently available in 4.2.8.

Just make sure you have lots of XML backups in case something should go wrong and you need to revert to the older version.

The Gramps 5.0.0 Import and Merge tool can be used to show differences as well, and can be used to update the primary tree with data from the second.

As with all such tools, backup first...

I need to be able to compare my current database with
some earlier versions to see just what has got scrambled.

I think I remember compare and merge tools for gramps
databases being discussed some while ago on the mailing
lists. Can anyone tell me how far that got?

Any other suggestions for dealing with this really
s....y situation would be most welcome.
