SQream will maintain VARCHAR in all previous versions until completing the migration to TEXT, at which point it will be deprecated in all earlier versions. SQream also provides an automated and secure tool to facilitate and simplify migration from VARCHAR to TEXT.
If you are using an earlier version of SQream, see the Using Legacy String Literals configuration flag.

Generate a backup of the metadata by running the following command:

Tip
SQream recommends storing the generated backup 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 backup file.
Replace your current metadata with the metadata you stored in the backup 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.
