 * If you change the database schema, the following are required:
 |

 *    1. Update the file database.sql to match the new schema.
 | 
			
		||||
 *    2. Update this file by adding a new function at the end with the number of the current DB_UPDATE_VERSION.
 | 
			
		||||
 *       This function should modify the current database schema and perform any other steps necessary
 | 
			
		||||
 *       to ensure that upgrade is silent and free from requiring interaction.
 | 
			
		||||
 *    1. Update the file include/dbstructure.php to match the new schema.

 | 
			
		||||
 *       This function should perform some post procession steps but no database updates.
 | 
			
		||||
 *    3. Increment the DB_UPDATE_VERSION in boot.php *AND* the UPDATE_VERSION in this file to match it
 | 
			
		||||
 *    4. TEST the upgrade prior to checkin and filing a pull request.
