That is of course what we do. But still: you have a dump file, then you update all the software and hope that they really play as well together as in the tests. Then you run the migration scripts that usually fail somewhere halfway through - you have a database in a weird state then. You pick up the pieces, massage the db so that the update scripts run through. Then you reboot the system and see if anything blows up....

I think there are probably better ways of doing these kind of things, but I do not know them. Sql is just very flawed when it comes to upgrading.
