TEXT data type is replacing VARCHAR - SQream will maintain VARCHAR data type support until 09/30/2023.

Upgrading to v2022.1.4 

Generate a back-up of the metadata by running the following command:
```
$ select backup_metadata('out_path');
```
Tip

SQream recommends storing the generated back-up locally in case needed.

SQream runs the Garbage Collector and creates a clean backup tarball package.
Shut down all SQream services.
Extract the recently created back-up file.
Replace your current metadata with the metadata you stored in the back-up file.
Navigate to the new SQream package bin folder.
Run the following command:
```
$ ./upgrade_storage <levelDB path>
```

Note

Upgrading from a major version to another major version requires you to follow the Upgrade Storage step. This is described in Step 7 of the Upgrading SQream Version procedure.
