gm-upgrade_server - upgrade an existing SQL database for GNUmed to the next version

gm-upgrade_server VERSION VERSION+1 [ no-backup | no-compression ] [ quiet ]

gm-upgrade_server is a simple helper script which is provided by the Debian GNU/Linux distribution to simplify upgrading the GNUmed database from version VERSION to the next version VERSION+1.

Do not create a database backup before upgrading (you got faith).
Create a backup but do not compress it. Useful if you got plenty of disk but are low on cycles.
Display failures only, do not chatter about progress.

This script may result in deletion of existing GNUmed databases if so instructed.
