What happens during upgrades?

When upgrading, the common database will also be upgraded, but the old one will remain. When customers install a test database at that new level or upgrade their pilot environment, the database will be created and updated. But when they upgrade their live environment, they’ll just use the one there. This means that whatever data is in the common database is no longer needed as part of the DB upgrade process, saving time in this critical step of system downtime

There seems to be a bug… (or a feature) here I have a DB
2023.1 → 2024.1 that Created ICECommon_4_3_100

Then a few weeks later I reset the Db back to 2023.1 and re-did the uplift (same DB name and everything just restore from backup re-uplift)

2023.1 → 2024.1 that created ICECommon_4_3_1004_3_100 ← that looks a hell of a lot like they appended the version to the end of the version?

Halp! @Rich, @Olga

the problem is I have 4-5 DB’s in the same SQL box
