[midPoint] Upgrades and version consistency

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

There will be an error on startup if the database model is not 
compatible (e.g. there are missing columns). However, I would say that 
midPoint will continue to operate if the database model is compatible, 
e.g. tables were extended with additional (non-mandatory) columns.

Would the application check the database version and refuse to start, or would the error be more subtle? Is there a way to query to check that the database scripts have been run and are on the correct version?
