In all version of OSC (like MS2 and MS2-MAX) there is a perl utlity: \extras\mysql_diff\mysqldiff.pl

Utility to compare table definitions in two MySQL databases,
and output a patch in the format of ALTER TABLE statements
which converts the first database structure into in the second.
(takes MySQL database files or database name-direct)

Thus

Load your new version of OSC (like MS2 or MS2-MAX) database in to a new database and take your curent database version (or export your current one to a file) then use this perl script on both databases.

Good Luck

Setup and run a DEMO/TEST site for awhile. Import the default database. Use the perl script to make an ALTER table..... In phpMySQL create a copy of your live data - run the ALTER table on the copy and then try it on your DEMO/TEST site.
