[Koha] Migrating Koha database from version 3.18 to 19.11?

[Philippe Blouin]

I would not do such partial loading, it won't work.

You're much better just loading the whole dump, replacing whatever 
default database your 19.11 installation created.

Then manually run updatedatabase.pl or even simpler, follow the 
instructions when connecting to Koha, it'll run the update from the UI.

This will be very fast.
