OK. What follows is off the top of my pointy little head. But...
I think it's going to be POLA no matter which/any direction is
chosen. But the first couple of things that come to mind are
chroot(8), of even creating a port that facilitates the entire
process.
Those with any sizable DB (should) understand the maintenance
costs, already. But seems to me the simplest solution; in the
short term, anyway; is chrooting the proposed new version, and
finally moving it into it's final destination. While I's early.
I haven't finished my first cup of coffee, and haven't
completely thought this through; am I completely off the map?
