Overwriting 3.6.8 tables to vB 3.7.0 Gold !!

[veenuisthebest]

Hello,

Please tell me, would it be safe enough to copy my 3.6.8 DB to latest 3.7 Gold overwriting all the existing tables.

I have installed vB 3.7 to a new location and want to start everything from the beginning (i.e. want to drop all mods and hacks I applied on older vB) BUT definitely want to save my members info, posts and everything else..

I have the SQL dump on my PC of vB 3.6.8. and have installed a fresh copy of 3.7.0 Gold onto a new location. SOOOO... it it okay if I simply overwrite my 3.7.0 tables with the older ones.

Does the tables of 3.7 have some new columns that do not exist in the common tables of 3.6.8 ?? If this is the case, I would definitely be losing some of the new features of 3.7.. isn't it ??

please reply ..

thankss
