In docs.postnuke.com -> manuals -> install, is recommended to "delete all the files in the directory" when upgrading. In the top post of this topic, I suggested a different procedure:

Not deleting the files, but making the untar overwrite THE NEW files, LEAVING ALL the "non standard" in theyr own places.

If you have a "deep" customized site, perhaps my way is better than deleting all and then re-placing all CUSTOM files to theyr right places.

The second, rebuild the SQL dump with the new tables, and then create the database (or override)
