The project needs some of the improvements to the adaptive db added after this project started, such as the read-only interface, so I've copied the current data over into the dev db, checked out the latest trunk from svn, and hacked away till everything worked. The process found some oddities in the adaptive db code, which I've copied back to the repo. I'm now in a position to add and alter some fields that need to be changed, doing that only in dev first.
