I believe we will have to bite the bullet and upgrade. However there is a load of work to do before thats needed, it's just means mySQL is another thing we're going to have to push back until A7.

It is a little anoying that I bought A6 Pro and have only really began using its functions in this last 18 months, and just as we're getting a clear road ahead we have to migrate to A7. What on earth did I do with all that time

Still I hope that when we do upgrade it will be to deliver the extra layer of polish, oh and of course mySQL.

Thanks for the info Epsilon, just another unwanted suprise...
