# to upgrade live
# - create an empty database (with new schema)
# - upgrade all the web apps
# - set some kind of "in_upgrade" flag
# - for all new transactions
#     - look in the new DB first.
#     - fallback to reading from the old db, and upgrade the record.
#     - post to the new DB (try "new", fallback "edit")
# - gradually move records into the new DB (upgrading).
