Create 2 folders with the same structure as for the file system of elxis and compare them using this tool. Kdiff will mark with red color the files that need to be updated.
You don't have to make any query to database for that purpose.

Post by: datahell on October 07, 2014, 20:52:43: It doesn't matter of you replace it or not. That file is executed only on Elxis installation, it is useless after Elxis installation. On updates Elxis performs database update from the administration console without the need of an SQL file.
