This is true, but you could run the new version on the same server/different

having to use extra disk space, or taking your production database offline -
then you can schedule a time to kill the old one, re-assign the port on the
new one and bring it up - would take about 30 seconds, and this could be
done at a time when traffic was at its lowest.
Hmmm - Interesting solution!
Does you know of anybody that have tried an upgrade migration like this,
and experience with very large databases?
