[Pdns-users] PDNS 3.x with PDNS 2.9.x Database Schema

[Gabriel Marais]

Hi Guys

Seems like I have hit a brick wall. I have PowerDNS 2.9.x running as 
master and 2 slaves. I am busy moving over to Ubuntu 14.x on newly 
installed servers and as such I ended up with PowerDNS 3.x which is not 
compatible with the older 2.9 schema on MySQL.

I have read in a thread that one could use custom queries to overcome 
the immediate issue of moving a complete DNS implementation over to the 
version 3.x schema but I cannot seem to find the custom queries to 
overcome the issue from my log :-

Jul 22 01:17:46 hubble pdns[2006]: Backend error: Failed to execute 
mysql_query, perhaps connection died? Err=1: Unknown column 'auth' in 
'field list'

Ultimately, I would like to move over to PowerDNS 3.x but right now I 
need to get another 'slave' working which is sitting on PowerDNS 3.x to 
work with my 2.9 master and database schema.

Can anyone perhaps point me in the right direction with the custom 
queries to accommodate the missing "auth" column in the new DB schema?


Many Thanks, Gabriel
