ComfortUpdate failed: DB error was created by Trimbos
Performed ComfortUpdate, which I do monthly.
Everything went well.....until the DB update/upgrade in the end: an error occured.
As we use postgres, could not backup from the admin.

How come this happened?
ComfortUpdate is not very comforting with these kind of errors that mess up the database.

Correction:
according to our webhost, the database update script tried to alter a table from varchar to txt. Which is a valid procedure in itself.
However, our Limesurvey installation is an "Bi-Directional Replication (BDR), an asynchronous multi-master replication system for PostgreSQL" (our production environment for various applications).

The current script is not suited for that.

MLaybe you can report issue, but clearly … i don't think we have a clean solution …

You can do it yourself ?
Just this step : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/3f...edb_helper.php#L3380

(ahnd update DBversion in settings after).
