That would be a correct assumtion. Sometimes things happen. Most of the time
though, the DB will get corrupt when the user "break" the portupgrade.
That's been my experiance anyways. So, as a rule of thumb, only "break"
portupgrade when it's absolutly, 100 percent, needed.
I don't care what anyone says - to me, you just DON'T break access to any
database.
