Migration from 1.5.x to 1.6.x

Databases created with release 1.5.x need to be exported and reimported in OrientDB 1.6.x.

From OrientDB 1.5.x:

• Open the console under "bin/" directory calling:

  • ./console.sh (or .bat on Windows)

• Connect to the database and export it, example:
  • orientdb> connect plocal:/temp/db admin admin
  • orientdb> export database /temp/db.zip
• Run OrientDB 1.6.x console

  • ./console.sh (or .bat on Windows)

• Create a new database and import it, example:
  • orientdb> create database plocal:/temp/db admin admin plocal
  • orientdb> import database /temp/db.zip
