 * It prompts me to update the database. I click the button and then it loads for
   long and then Error 524. See [http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/718/5481335149.png](http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/718/5481335149.png)
 * All other sites, I was able to update the database, on the same server, all on
   cloudflare. So it has the same environment.
 * What to do?

 * Hi barnasbasnagy,
 * Can you list the version you are updating from. The reason we put the update 
   database button is to give the user control when this update happens because 
   if you have a very large record set it could take a long time. Schema changes
   happen automatically in the background. Any time we need to update the existing
   records to work with a new schema the db update only happens when the user pushes
   the button.
 * There is planning in the works to divide the update process up for very large
   record sets to prevent time outs. Do you know how many records you have? We are
   currently doing internal testing to find out what the tipping point is but of
   course it will be different depending upon environmental variables.

 * I had the same problem.
    Wpengine.. networksite all under CloudFlare. I’ve also
   reset the Db cleaning old data but the problem remain. 502.. it’s seems the plugin
   need to much time to update DB and we have 502 from the server. I was investigating
   with some collegue this morning when i discoverd that after reset the stream 
   db a few tables are still large: ex: gryt3mt_stram has 43,075 records.
 * Now i’m using 1.4.4. The updating process of db dosn’t work since the last update.
   
   now i saw that there’s a new version.. but i think i need to solve this problem
   with db before.
 * tnx in advance for your support
