Upgrade paths are automatic from the previous feature release, unless we have announced that a re-create is necessary due to internal changes that can not be handled automatically. Upgrades from bug-fix releases never require a database re-creation.
Upgrading over multiple feature releases, i.e. a very old dbfarm, is not supported. A dump and restore is the way to go.

Hello -
My understanding is you should not run a new monetdb version with a dbfarm created from an older version. We have just updated our system from a Jul2015-SP3 version to the latest Jun2016-SP2 version.
I have created a new db farm and plan to recreate the tables in the new farm.
My question; How do you remove the old dbfarm? Our data is quite large (1.8 T) and I’d like to retrieve this space for other use. While I can start the db against the new farm, I can find no method of removing the old dbfarm to reclaim this space.
Thanks - Lynn
