New databse overwriting old one on app update

[Guilherme Botelho]

I have a simple web2py app deployed, and would like to be able to update it (by reistalling) without overwriting the existing database data with the test one from my development version, I've read a few other posts from this group, but none seemed to do the trick, any ideias on how to do it?

I've also tried playing with the migrations and fake_migrations but it also didn't do anything.

If the database structure did not change if you copy the new files over the deployed ones (except the content of the databases/ folder) you should be fine.
