Documentation for JIRA 5.2. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too. 
Due to the upgrade of HSQLDB, and to improve compatibility with Firebird and Frontbase, various database tables and columns have been renamed.
The table below summarises the changes to the database schema. Please note, that if you have developed any custom utilities which query or modify the JIRA database directly (i.e. without using the JIRA API), please check whether the utilities need to be updated.
