Let me be a bit more dire. DO NOT USE 2.6.1 with SQL! You WILL lose
data.
There were several SQL-based data loss/corruption bugs found in the
early 2.6 series. You DO NOT want to use early 2.6 series releases with
a SQL backend.
IF you must use SQL, then upgrade to 2.6.15 first.
Honestly, you should upgrade even if you don't need to use SQL.
