I have a need to roll my 6.4 database back so it works with 6.3
Is this possible?

Not sure it's possible to go back - the structures change. For example, the polls have been radically changed in 6.4 - the only way to go backwards is to restore a 6.3 backup database and run with that.

It might be possible to write a downgrade script that undos the changes made by the upgrade script. But that will require some time.

And wasn't 6.4 the one where the polls changed? You'd have to have a script which undoes all the changes to the poll system.

Yes, that is part of the upgrade script if I remember correctly.

Wouldn't it be easier to upgrade the php to work with a 6.4 database?
