error overwriting old database | Old Forum | Forum Archive

Hi,

When I attempt a clone where I am updating an existing site with a new version, the database update produces a stream of errors and the new content is not completely written, evidently because of the existence of old database items with the same names. So, it appears that I must manually delete the old database contents completely before I attempt the clone.

Is there a clone option that I am missing that would simply let me update the database with the new content, rather than delete the old database, create it (empty) and then do the clone?
