I ran into a problem while converting the database:
One movie had two entries in the database with the same ID. I had to uninstall Griffith 0.9 and reinstall 0.6.2 and delete that movie (name taken from the error log). After that the problem was gone (and I ran into another, yet unsolved problem).

Before uninstalling/installing the new version:
- Make a backup of your old database (my reinstalled 0.6.2 failed to launch after the attempted conversion of its database)
- Download the old version so you can fix double entries in the database, should they occur:

Making a backup is always a good idea, however all you need to do is delete griffith.conf file and Griffith 0.6.2 will work again (old database is not deleted)

See also my reply in your other post.

UPDATE: autocommit mode is turned on by default in -rc2 and griffith.gri file is modified during upgrade process, please make a backup before upgrading, just in case.
