Such a simple but valuable suggestion.  Create a test database and migrate
it first to see how the process works.

Can't say it enough.  The simple suggestions are sometimes the most elegant.

It's fairly painless.  As John says, just understand
and follow the instructions.

Perform the upgrade on a test database first.  Create
a new one if you need to, you need to ensure that you
already know how to smoothly go through the upgrade.

We've installed several apps and databases here for
the sole purpose of upgrading them, so that we know
we can do it on production without a problem.

It will be time well spent.
