1-Click Upgrade - Does it mess you or slow down your site?

[bteo]

I'm wondering if anyone can comment or share their experiences or thoughts on doing 1-click upgrade multiple times.

 

My Situation

I've upgraded from 1.6.0.1 to 1.6.0.8 and now wish to go to 1.6.1.1

 

Question

I'm wondering if doing so many upgrades actually messes or slows the database down. So is doing multiple 1-click upgrades actually bad for your site / database in the long run?

 

I'm asking because it's link Windows, you don't want to keep upgrading windows, and its well known a fresh install is the best solution.

 

2nd Question

If its best to do a fresh install on Prestashop 1.6.1.1 than I will be  using StoreManage to import all products, customers, addresses and orders. However all the stats can't be imported with this tool. Anyone have suggestions on how to import stats? Is it as simple as copying the database table?

 

 

Would appreciate some advise on this thanks.

A fresh install will always keep things cleaner, although it's not that you will necessarily have a mess after the upgrade. You can try upgrading on a dev server, see if you have any bug, and if not, upgrade the real store.
As for 2, never used that module, so no idea. You can indeed copy over database info if the structure is preserved across version (it should, for the ones you mentioned)

Just try to upgrade and you will see. Even fresh installation has no problems. Of course, do it locally or in stage first - never on the live site.

Thanks for the advise. I think I'm going to try the 1-click upgrade instead. Hopefully all goes well
