The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

Sympa will check the table data structure - and update it - for MySQL 
and SQLite only.
For other supported RDBMS (Oracle, Sybase and PostgreSQL) it only 
verifies that tables exist. If not, a message is issued while upgrading.
As you are updating from version 5.1.2, several tables will be missing. 
You can create them by using the scripts distributed with Sympa, located 
in the src/etc/script/ disrectory. For Sybase, use create_db.Sybase.
You can always find the latest creation scripts in the online user 
manual : https://www.sympa.org/manual/database#database_manual_creation
