That's impossible. If I distribute an update it will be built with 2.3.

Let me explain:

1. I have thousands of users (individuals, not corporate).
2. They have versions of my app at every level (going back to V1.0).
3. My app checks a database on each open and does whatever conversion 
is necessary to make it compatible with the current shipping 
Valentina engine.

So, conversion must be done ad hoc with each database for each user.

I don't mind changing VarChar[2000] to VarChar[1022], but it must be 
transparent to the user.

If Valentina can do that automatically when an older database is 
opened, that's fine with me.
